    On Tuesday, the U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon, Dorothy Shea, announced in a statement that the United States will provide Lebanon with an aid of $29.5 million.

    The aid comes as part of the United States initiative to help face the global food crisis with government funding of $2.76 billion through USAID.

    Of the $29.5 million allocated to Lebanon, $15 million will come as monthly humanitarian assistance to around 300,000 Lebanese through the UN World Food Programme (WFP).

    $14.5 million will come as development assistance to help the agriculture sector in Lebanon by supporting more than 10,000 Lebanese farmers and over 300 agro-food processors, which will increase the productivity of the sector, create jobs, and reduce imports.
