"Lebanon needs 500 million euros to tackle the humanitarian crisis over the next six months," Salam said during a press conference in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron, after Lebanon raised the toll from six weeks of war to more than 2,450 dead and more than 7,600 wounded in the conflict.
