 President Joe Biden says the United States will give nearly $100 million in additional humanitarian aid to Lebanon. On Wednesday, Beirut marked one year since a catastrophic explosion on the city's port devastated the capital. Since then, the country has been mad in a financial depression worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. On this day of mourning, I send my deepest condolences to all those who were injured or lost loved ones, and all those still struggling to recover from this trauma. We also recognize that the people Lebanon have suffered more over the past year because of a avoidable political and economic crisis. The United States is proud of our long-standing support for Lebanese people. I've been to your country many times. It's absolutely beautiful. And today I'm announcing nearly $100 million in new humanitarian assistance. That's on top of the $560 million in humanitarian aid that the United States has provided to Lebanon over the last two years. And I urge my fellow leaders in capitals around the world to also step up their support for Lebanese people.
