Countries around the world have concluded an emergency meeting to set up a foundation to provide strong support to Lebanon following the country’s massive crisis on Tuesday following a chemical explosion.
During the videoconference held on Sunday, August 9, the countries determined to come to the aid of Lebanon after the explosion that devastated Beirut agreed that this support should be monitored by the UN and provided in full transparency to the Lebanese.
About thirty representatives of countries wishing to come to the aid of Lebanon gathered in the afternoon of Sunday, August 9 for a videoconference organized jointly by France and by the United Nations (UN). The objective was to set the framework for the aid of the international community in Lebanon, ravaged by an economic crisis and by the terrible explosion which occurred Tuesday in Beirut and which left at least 158 dead and 6,000 injured.
“Efficiency and transparency”
At the end of this videoconference, in which French President Emmanuel Macron and US President Donald Trump participated, the donor countries delivered a press release about their support: “ The participants agreed that their assistance should be well-coordinated under the aegis of the United Nations and provided directly to the Lebanese population, with the maximum efficiency and transparency.”
While Michel Aoun, the Lebanese President, ruled out any international investigation, donor countries insisted on the need for an ” impartial, credible and independent ” investigation into the circumstances which led to the deadly explosion of 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate which had been stored for six years at the port of Beirut.
Aid of 252.7 million euros
In total, the international community committed to supporting Lebanon has agreed to aid worth 252.7 million euros. Thirty million euros will come from France, the European Union will provide more than double. This aid is already underway, and will subsequently be delivered under UN coordination, and without conditions. On the other hand, for assistance in the economic and financial reconstruction of the country, as a second step, the Lebanese authorities will have to undertake to initiate the reforms demanded by the population.

The Tonnerre helicopter carrier, equipped with a hospital and with 200 tonnes of flour and dairy and infant products on board, set sail in the evening from Toulon.
