The Red Crescent Authority has implemented a new phase of the programme of aid relief to Syrian refugees in Lebanon at a cost of AED 5 million, which includes the provision of food parcels, shelter materials and a variety of winter clothing, especially for children. Naima Al-Muhairi, Deputy Secretary- General of RCA for International Aid, pointed out that around 14,000 Syrian families in Lebanon benefited from the relief programmes of the authority in various areas of health and living conditions. The RCA has strengthened its partnership with the Lebanese Red Cross Society (LRCS) and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the International Committee for Red Crescent to enhance avenues of cooperation and coordination between them with regard to their common humanitarian efforts for Syrian refugees in Lebanon.
