Canada announces new aid to Lebanon

BEIRUT (AP): A Canadian government official condemned what he called Israel’s “unlawful invasion” of Lebanon, saying that Beirut should govern its own space and have sovereignty over its lands. Randeep Sarai, Canada’s secretary of state for international development, visited Lebanon to announce new humanitarian aid to the crisis-hit country, where the UN says some 360,000 people remain displaced as a result of the latest conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
