asked Her Majesty's Government:

What form of aid they have given to relieve the suffering of the people of Beirut.

Lord Skelmersdale

The United Kingdom is giving bilateral and multilateral emergency aid worth in excess of £3.386 million. This takes the form of cash, food, medical teams and equipment, vehicles, aircraft charter, tents and blankets to relieve suffering in Lebanon. A substantial part of this effort has been directed at Beirut.
