UNHCR’s Grandi: We must increase lifesaving support to vulnerable Lebanese and refugees

UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi appealed to the international community to sustain its crucial support to vulnerable Lebanese and refugees in Lebanon, as the country faces its worst economic crisis in modern history.

Grandi’s comments were made at the conclusion of a three-day visit to Lebanon, whereby he pledged to continue working towards long-term solutions for Syrian refugees in Lebanon and the region.

“Lebanon is going through one of its hardest moments, while continuing to host one of the largest refugee populations per capita in the world,” Grandi said, adding that “both Lebanese and refugees are suffering immensely due to multiple crises. More people are being pushed deeper into poverty every day.”
