UN doubles appeal for Lebanon aid to nearly $640 amid Israel war

GENEVA: “The humanitarian crisis in Lebanon is severe and deteriorating,” the UN humanitarian agency OCHA said in a revised appeal for the country. “Repeated displacements, insufficient shelter capacity and limited prospects for safe return are deepening vulnerability,” it said, warning that “affected people are rapidly exhausting their coping capacities, and essential services are under increasing strain.” The UN had appealed for $308 million in March to support a massive emergency response led by Lebanon’s government through to the end of May.
