I have just concluded my visit to #Lebanon.
Clearly, the political, financial and economic crises have taken their dramatic toll, foremost on the people of Lebanon.
While the country is already in a unique position globally by hosting the highest number of refugees per capita.

The EU will continue to stand by the people in Lebanon in these difficult times.
I have announced €60 million of EU humanitarian funding for 2023 alone to ensure aid for the most vulnerable people in Lebanon. This includes Syrian refugees and the affected Lebanese.

However, humanitarian aid can only provide a lifeline.
It is crucial to start addressing the roots of the multiple crises in 🇱🇧.
Completed governance & an agreement with the IMF are a prerequisite to paving the way for much needed reforms - for a better future of the Lebanese.
