The European Union announced Thursday (6 August) that it had released €33 million to finance initial emergency aid for Lebanon and mobilised material resources, including an Italian hospital ship, to help relief efforts in Beirut, devastated Tuesday by two explosions.

A donor conference is also planned to mobilise additional funding for reconstruction after an assessment of what is required, said a EU source.
