The following is United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert’s End of Year Message:
“2024 was, to put it mildly, an exceptionally difficult year for Lebanon. Far too many lives were lost, devastated, and disrupted. The conflict, which inflicted untold suffering and trauma, also left great destruction. And certainly, the arduous process of healing, picking up the pieces, and rebuilding has only just begun.
While considerable work lies ahead to ensure that the ceasefire arrangement endures and yields the dividends of security and stability that the Lebanese people deserve, 2025 offers the promise of opportunity and reason for hope.
The United Nations has stood by Lebanon and its people through challenging times before and continues to do so now. On behalf of the entire UN family, I wish all Lebanese peace, good health, and greater prosperity in the New Year.”
