AMBASSADOR CONNELLY: The United States is also committed to working with the UN and
several societies to address the needs of Syrian people in Syria and throughout the
region.
We encourage other donor countries to meet the UN's regional appeal and Lebanon's specific
requests for assistance. The people of the United States are making this contribution
to further strengthen the ongoing commitment we have made to promote our stable, sovereign
and independent Lebanon. We look forward to our continuing partnership with the UN here
in Lebanon and around the region, to provide for the basic needs of those who fled the
violence in Syria and to help the generous communities that are hosting them here in
Lebanon.
