UN aid chief outlines ‘six asks’ after Israel-Lebanon deal Tom Fletcher welcomed the trilateral agreement as a ‘moment of hope and opportunity’. At the same time, he said Lebanon continues to face a “grave humanitarian crisis” following months of devastating Israeli military attacks. He said that during his visits to the war-torn country, he noticed that the “humanitarian community is mobilised, and determined to translate this momentum into real change in people’s lives, especially those displaced by the conflict”. Fletcher said the UN has "six asks", including “sustained and extended de-escalation” and “safe, voluntary and dignified returns”.
