W460

Two United Nations agencies on Tuesday called for more funding to address "increasing" needs in Lebanon, where the war with Israel has displaced hundreds of thousands of people.

"We are preparing for the reality that the needs are increasing," said UNICEF deputy executive director Ted Chaiban and World Food Programme deputy executive director Carl Skau in a joint statement, adding: "We need additional funding, without conditionalities".
