BEIRUT – At the request of H.E. the Minister of Foreign Affairs, UNHCR today withdrew the letter addressed to the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities on Friday 17 May 2024.
UNHCR wishes to clarify that the letter addressed to the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities last week, including a proposal to meet, was sent as per standard practice in line with UNHCR’s mandated responsibilities when there are issues related to vulnerable communities in Lebanon, including refugees.
UNHCR remains a supportive, transparent and constructive partner in Lebanon. In that regard, we will continue to advocate for increased assistance to Lebanon and help mobilize resources to cater to the pressing needs of the most vulnerable. UNHCR also continues to emphasize the importance for the international community to prioritize durable solutions for refugees to help alleviate the pressures in Lebanon, including through supporting more conducive return conditions in Syria.
UNHCR renews its commitment to engaging constructively with the Government of Lebanon.
ENDS
