France is hosting an international aid conference for Lebanon, as Israeli forces continue to attack what they call Hezbollah targets.
Organisers hope to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for urgent humanitarian assistance.
Some of the money will also be used to strengthen the Lebanese army in the south of the country.
Delegates from around 70 countries and 15 international organisations, including the United Nations, are attending the event in Paris.
Speaking at an aid conference for Lebanon in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron says his country will provide 100 million euros ($108 million) in aid to Lebanon amid Israeli attacks on the country.
Al Jazeera’s Bernard Smith has more from Paris, France.
