Qatar has recently announced an aid package for Lebanon, primarily to support the country's electricity sector. According to a statement from the Qatar Development Fund the package is valued at circa US$ 430 million with it being estimated to benefit some 1.5 million people. The package includes a contribution of up to US$ 400 million to support the energy sector, of which 10% would be allocated as a grant.  The Qatari Minister of Foreign Affairs also announced the launch of a project supporting the voluntary and safe return of Syrians from Lebanon to their home country in cooperation with the United Nations.  The first phase of the project is worth US$ 20 million and targets some 100,000 people. The assistance will help secure housing in Syria ahead of the returnees' departure. This will come in addition to providing food and medicine for three months after they arrive, as part of supporting their reintegration. (ICE BEIRUT)
