Lebanon's caretaker prime minister, Najib Mikati, announced on Monday that he would meet donor countries to seek additional funding for Lebanon's growing displacement crisis, as hundreds of thousands of people fled Israel's widening aerial campaign.

We are trying as much as possible to fill the gaps; as I said yesterday, it is not an easy process," Mikati said, announcing that he would ask donors on Tuesday to give money to Lebanon through the United Nations.
