Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri stressed Thursday that Lebanon’s financial situation has become unbearable, adding that there will be no funding related to the refugee crisis in the new government.
During the launching of Lebanon’s Crisis Response Plan 2019 by the Ministry of Social Affairs, Hariri said that the refugee crisis has become more intense and dangerous, adding that “the faster solution for the return of the refugees is by presenting concrete guarantees related to appropriate living and social conditions in their country.”
He pointed out that the Russian initiative in this regard is the only and most serious one, expressing relief over the coordination between the UNHCR and the Russia government.
