President of the United Arab Emirates Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan pledged on Monday an urgent relief aid package worth $100 million to Lebanon, the state news agency WAM reported.

This initiative is part of the UAE’s continuous efforts to support Lebanon through its current challenges, underscoring the nation's unwavering commitment to assisting the Lebanese people, it added.

Lebanon's Health Ministry says more than 1,000 Lebanese have been killed and 6,000 wounded in the past two weeks in a wave of intensified Israeli attacks on militant targets in the country, part of a conflict now also stretching from the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the occupied West Bank, to Yemen, and in Israel itself.
