Canada also supports an independent investigation to understand what happened and how we can ensure a tragedy like this never happens again.

Up to $2 million will be matched by the federal government under the Lebanon Matching Fund for every dollar donated by Canadians to the Humanitarian Coalition and its members between Aug.
