EU Ready to Help but Urges Lebanon to 'Deliver on Reforms

The EU announced Wednesday that it will “assist Lebanon in economic recovery” but added that “the Government of Lebanon must commit and deliver on reforms.” The announcement was made as the European Union and the World Food Program joined forces to support vulnerable populations in Lebanon. “With a total budget of €151.2 million in grants, which includes a new EU-WFP agreement worth €103.2 million signed this September, their assistance provides a critical lifeline to vulnerable Lebanese and refugees from Syria struggling to meet their basic needs”.
