Kamala Trashed For Sending Aid To Lebanon While Americans Are Still Missing

Vice President Kamala Harris faced a wave of backlash over the weekend for touting the Biden-Harris administration’s plan to send money to Lebanon while Americans were still reeling from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Helene in the southeastern United States.

Even as the true breadth of the damage is still unknown — and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has revealed they don’t have enough funds to last through the remainder of hurricane season — Harris took to X to announce more than $150 million in aid for Lebanon.

“The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there,” she posted. “To that end, the United States will provide nearly $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon for essential needs such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict. This additional support brings total U.S. assistance to Lebanon over the last year to over $385 million.”
