The European Commission will give an additional €43 million in humanitarian aid to support Syrian refugees and their host communities in Lebanon, European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid Christos Stylianides announced during a visit to Lebanon today.
“We have to support Lebanon for being a generous host to such a large number of Syrian refugees,” said Stylianides. “The EU is showing solidarity as the largest humanitarian donor to the Syria response and we are now stepping up our assistance to those most in need at this critical time.”
The funding will help prepare the most vulnerable refugees for the approaching winter. It will provide assistance for shelter rehabilitation, heating as well as health care support for some of the most vulnerable refugee families.
Lebanon is home to the highest refugee per capita rate in the world and comes second only to Turkey in terms of absolute numbers of Syrian refugees. (EU Neighbourhood Info)
