“Canada gave over $37.7 million to help Lebanon with food, health care, shelter, and water. I want an update on how that aid is helping people there.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, on March 12, in response to the Government of Lebanon’s urgent request for humanitarian support, the Government of Canada announced more than $37.7 million in funding to provide critical assistance in Lebanon, including food, medical and health services, shelter and clean water. One month on, could the Secretary of State for International Development update the House on the impact our humanitarian assistance is having on the ground?

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, Canada’s humanitarian assistance is making a real difference on the ground. Through trusted partners, we have helped provide nearly 5.7 million meals to families in need. We have supported emergency medical assistance to almost 16,000 patients and health services to 35,000 more. We are helping 40 primary care health facilities across Lebanon stay open, and improving access to essential medical care for the most vulnerable. These are just a few examples of the life-saving support that Canadians are helping provide. For families fleeing violence and facing displacement, hunger and loss, it makes a real difference. It is something Canadians can be proud of.
