On September 12, 2020, the third flight to Lebanon under the EU’s Humanitarian Air Bridge delivered around 30 tonnes of essential aid, including ambulances, firefighting equipment, personal protective equipment, medicines and telecommunication equipment.

During the international donor conference hosted by France on 9 August, the European Commission mobilised more than € 64 million for emergency needs, medical support and equipment, and protection of critical infrastructures. These funds will also help address the most pressing humanitarian needs of the most vulnerable inhabitants of Beirut impacted by the devastating explosions.
