The money is part of an emergency relief package announced on Wednesday that includes specialist medical teams and NHS experts, search and rescue crews and additional support for the Lebanese armed forces.
There was more than one? Which, granted, did not seem small.
UK pledges £5 million in aid. That should cover the lunch for 3 days for the 300,000 displaced.
A pathetically small amount, I assume that this is just a token gesture and more will be given. After all this govt has taken the budget from aid dept, given it to the foreign office, so in these unprecedented times, the sixth largest economy must find more than £5 million.
Nice gesture by the UK.However,what Lebanon wants is aid not rescue teams because Lebanese themselves can do that.
Very good steps taken by UK Administration
Why, we have our own very serious issues?
Hooray for the Brits. And, now, President Trump?
Don't send any money ! our corrupted politicians, who caused this catastrophe in first place, will steal the money. Keep your money and send food and medical aid please 🙏🏻
