This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

Since you started your petition the Government has announced a package of £20 million to help provide food for the most vulnerable in Lebanon, including those affected by the Beirut explosion and its aftermath. This is on top of £5 million already made available to the response by the UK, including support for the British Red Cross for the emergency relief effort: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-pledges-more-aid-for-beirut-crisis-at-global-summit
