Beirut explosion: UK to pledge further £20m to relief effort
The UK has pledged a further £20m in aid to Lebanon following Tuesday's deadly explosion in Beirut.
The support will go directly to those injured and displaced by the explosion, providing access to food and medicine as well as other urgent supplies.
The UK, which has already given £5m to the emergency relief effort, said it showed its commitment to "stand by" the Lebanese people in their hour of need.
France's Emmanuel Macron has warned the country's future is "at stake".
Addressing a virtual meeting of world leaders to discuss the economic and political fallout from the tragedy, the French president said it was a "wake-up call" for the Lebanese government and the international community had a huge stake in the country's "reconstruction" to help ensure regional stability.
The blast in the city's port destroyed large parts of the surrounding area, killing more than 150 people, injuring more than 5,000 and leaving more than 300,000 homeless.
In a phone call with the Lebanese president on Saturday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the UK would "stand by the country in its hour of need".
