World powers are meeting in Paris to raise urgent humanitarian aid for Lebanon and push for a ceasefire, but little concrete progress is expected. France, with historical ties to Lebanon, has been working with the US to secure a ceasefire, but its influence has been limited. The conference aims to raise at least 500 million euros in aid to primarily help the displaced population. The delegations will also seek to strengthen the Lebanese Armed Forces and push for the election of a president to fill a power vacuum before a ceasefire.
