Prioritise financial aid to be sent to Lebanon, following the Beirut explosion.
After the devastating explosion which has rocked Beirut, the government needs to be more proactive in helping a wounded Lebanon. The government needs to prioritise and ensure robust financial aid is sent to the country immediately to help the overwhelmed emergency services.
Lebanon has already suffered a devastating financial crisis, with people struggling to afford to buy food due to record inflation. Coupled with government corruption and political instability in the region, the government has turned a blind eye on the suffering of the Lebanese people. We need the government to be more proactive and diplomatic in aiding Lebanon, such as sending medical supplies, food and other aid to those who need it desperately.
