UK to provide over $6 million in emergency funding for Lebanon aid

March 15 (Reuters) - British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper on Sunday said the UK will provide over 5 million pounds ($6.62 million) of emergency funding to support humanitarian work of the Lebanese government amid conflict in the region.

Cooper also condemned Hezbollah's attacks against Israel and called for them to cease.

"The actions of this proscribed terrorist group - at the instigation of the Iranian regime - are once again drawing the people of Lebanon into a conflict they do not want and which is not in their interests," she said.
