Vice President Kamala Harris announced that the United States will cut a massive check to Lebanon in humanitarian aid as American hurricane victims suffer from no water or electricity.
According to Harris, the money will address the “needs” of civilians affected by the country’s ongoing humanitarian crisis, such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation.
The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there.

Over the past year, the U.S. has given more than $385 million to Lebanon.
This came just days after the Department of Homeland Security claimed it did not have enough money to help the victims of Hurricane Helene. In addition, Harris announced that the U.S. government would give just $750 to those in need after the storm.
