Korea will provide $2 million in humanitarian assistance to conflict-hit Lebanon, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Thursday.
The assistance will be financed through an emergency overseas assistance program of the state-run Korea International Cooperation Agency and aid from non-governmental organizations and private companies, the ministry said.
Israel has widened its strikes on Iran into southern Lebanon and the capital, Beirut, leaving nearly 1,000 Lebanese people killed and nearly 1 million others displaced.
The ministry said it expects the upcoming financial assistance to help alleviate difficulties among civilians suffering from the conflict and bring the country back to normal.
