Lebanon needs $250 mn/month for displaced: Minister on Israel tensions

Lebanon will need $250 million a month to help people displaced by Israeli attacks, Minister Nasser Yassin said. Yassin said the government response, helped by local initiatives and international aid, only covered 20% of the needs of some 1.3 million people uprooted from their homes. Israel began its ground offensive in Lebanon earlier this month amid its clashes with Hezbollah.
