Rhino: Agencies – Germany will provide an additional 96 million euros ($103.57 million) in humanitarian and development aid to Lebanon, German Foreign Minister Annalina Berbock said on Thursday.

The announcement came ahead of a meeting of some 70 delegations in Paris focused on helping the country.

“We make it clear that we are not just looking at the suffering in Lebanon these days, we are taking action; we are supporting people on the ground who mostly only want one thing: To live in safety and peace in the future, just like many people in Israel.”

France hopes the meeting will raise about 500 million euros ($540 million) in humanitarian aid, according to a French Foreign Ministry document on the conference.
