    "It highlighted that while a country as small as Lebanon has taken 1,500,000 asylum seekers [mainly women and children] that the wealthiest country on Earth has even reduced the paltry 20,000 intake established by Labor."

    Feed them.

    Financial information

    The 2013 budget foresees the continued provision of protection and assistance to persons of concern in Lebanon in close coordination with the Government and with the support of operational and implementing partners. The total required budget is USD 36 million.

    The 2013 budget for Lebanon will be further revised in order to cover additional needs related to the Syria crisis which could not be assessed at the time this budget was approved.
