Lebanon is currently focusing on the meeting of donor countries to be held in Kuwait on Jan. 19, which is being hosted to help provide support for displaced Syrians with the participation of Iraq, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and the Gulf countries, as well as European donor countries.

This meeting holds great significance because the displaced Syrians issue is one of the most serious effects of the Syrian crisis and will remain on the table for as long as the bloody conflict in Syria continues.
