FAO in Lebanon
@FAOLebanon
News and latest information from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (@FAO) in #Lebanon. Follow our Director-General QU Dongyu, @FAODG.































I’m here as a friend of the Lebanese people in full solidarity with the Lebanese people. @antonioguterres tells journalists following his meeting with President Joseph Aoun in Beirut. un.org/sg/en/content/…

I have just landed in Beirut for a visit of solidarity with the people of Lebanon. They did not choose this war. They were dragged into it. The @UN & I will spare no effort in striving for the peaceful future that Lebanon & this region so richly deserve.


The IFRC condemns the killing of Lebanese Red Cross volunteer paramedic Youssef Assaf, who succumbed to the injuries he sustained while carrying out his humanitarian duty to assist and save lives. The @IFRC reiterates its call that ambulance personnel, medical staff, and Lebanese Red Cross @RedCrossLebanon staff and volunteers must be respected and protected at all times. Under international humanitarian law, medical and humanitarian personnel must not be targeted and must be allowed to carry out their life-saving work safely.
