The UN increased its aid appeal for Lebanon to nearly $640 million during the Israel war. The UN is seeking an additional $331.5 million to address the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Lebanon, according to DW. The UN warned that Lebanon is facing a severe humanitarian crisis, with a quarter of its population needing aid, according to The Hindu. Ongoing displacement, lack of shelter, and an inability to return safely are increasing vulnerability in Lebanon, according to Bluesky. Israel is carrying out fresh strikes on the south of Lebanon, according to DW. The total appeal of $640 million implies a prior amount; the additional $331.5 million suggests the prior amount was approximately $308.5 million, but no prior amount is stated in any source to verify this calculation.
