French state aid to lebanon since 2020

Since 2019, Lebanon's difficulties have been compounded by a multifaceted political, economic, financial, and social crisis. The day after the explosion in the port of Beirut on 5 August 2020, the President of the French Republic expressed the solidarity of the French nation and launched an aid operation that is intended to continue in the long term. The aim was to bring relief to the Lebanese people, by supporting the efforts of non-government organisations, and to help them find a way out of the crisis.
