According to the al-Ahd news website, Lebanese authorities cited the fact that the aid fell under international sanctions as the reason for refusing the offer.
Amani criticized the decision, noting that the US, despite its promises over the past three years, has yet to deliver the aid it pledged to Lebanon.
“At a time when Lebanon is struggling with severe economic and social crises, this assistance could have alleviated part of the people’s suffering”, Amani said.
