The European Commission has announced the allocation of an additional €10 million in humanitarian aid to support people affected by the escalating hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel.
In an official statement published on its website, the Commission noted that this emergency funding aims to address the most urgent needs, such as protection, food assistance, shelter, and healthcare.
The European Union is ready to provide further support by mobilizing all available emergency response tools, including the use of the Civil Protection Mechanism.
The statement also highlighted that the EU has provided approximately €74 million in humanitarian aid to support vulnerable populations in Lebanon in 2024, including this latest allocation.
The recent conflict has led to the displacement of residents from areas bordering Israel, with the latest data indicating at least 90,530 new displaced persons in Lebanon, in addition to nearly 112,000 displaced since October 2023. There are already hundreds of civilian casualties and injuries.
