Now Lebanon - EU donates additional funds for Syrian refugees in Lebanon, July 27 2012


The EU on Friday announced that it was donating an additional €5 million through the United Nations High Commission for Refugees to assist Syrian refugees who have fled to Lebanon.
"We appreciate the role taken by the government of Lebanon, with the support of the international community, to respond to this unprecedented influx of Syrian refugees into the country,” a statement issued by the EU delegation in Lebanon quoted its envoy Angelina Eichhorst as saying.
“With the influx of Syrian refugees into Lebanon some of the most deprived communities in the country are suffering from an additional strain on their already limited resources,” the statement added.
“The European Union is committed to ensure that these host communities in particular, are able to mitigate the impact of this unprecedented influx in the medium to long term.”
Tens of thousands of Syrians have fled violence in their country for Lebanon.
