France will provide a 100-million euro, or $108 million aid package to support Lebanon, French President Emmanuel Macron told an international conference Thursday in Paris.

World powers meet in Paris on Thursday aiming to provide urgent humanitarian aid to Lebanon, support to its security forces and push for a ceasefire, but with the U.S. focused on its own efforts, diplomats said they expect little concrete progress.

PARIS (Reuters) - France is hoping that a meeting on Thursday of some 70 delegations to support Lebanon will raise about 500 million euros ($540 million) in humanitarian aid, according to a foreign ministry framework document for the conference.

French President Emmanuel Macron says France will provide “massive” 100 million euro aid package to support Lebanon

Massive aid is needed for the Lebanese population, both for the hundreds of thousands of people displaced by the war and for the communities hosting them,” Macron said at an international conference on Thursday in Paris.

France aims to raise at least $400 million for Lebanon at an international conference in Paris on Thursday, with some of the funds allocated to strengthen the Lebanese army in the south of the country in the hope that Hezbollah will withdraw its military presence after a ceasefire with Israel.
