Canada to give $65 million to Lebanon for economic growth and humanitarian aid

Canada will give Lebanon $65 million to help with development and humanitarian aid, said Minister Ahmed Hussen.

The money package includes $38 million for making things better and another $27 million to help people in need.

“This $27 million will really help the people who need it,” he said in an interview.

Lebanon has had more and more money problems in the last few years, Hussen said. This is because of the explosion in the port of Beirut in 2020 and millions of refugees leaving nearby countries because of war.

“We must help Lebanese people who are in need and also the refugees. ”

The help will be used to give people food, water, and medical care.

Funding for economic development will go to groups like UN Women, which are part of the United Nations. Global Affairs Canada wants to give money to help local farmers, businesses run by women, and women involved in politics.

Hussen said that women around the world do not have enough money to start or expand their businesses.

“Helping women to be more powerful is the best way to fight poverty and make sure the economy grows for everyone. ”

Canada is giving money to help Lebanon’s economy as part of the government’s plan for the Middle East. According to Hussen, Canada has given over $500 million to Lebanon since 2016.
