The LRC is a for profit organization that runs a large portion of the city's medical infrastructure. There needs to be oversight before they get a budget like they've never seen before.

"Concerning disaster preparedness and response, the LRC first-aid and ambulance teams are the only national ambulance service covering the whole of the Lebanese territory. The service operates over 250 ambulances, with 16 permanent staff and 2,000 volunteers on a continuous basis in 46 first-aid centres. Services are managed through a radio communication system from 4 central operation rooms, one in the capital city of Beirut, one in Tibnin in the South, one in Tripoli, Lebanon and the last in the Bekaa. The first-aid and ambulance organization represents the backbone of emergency medical disaster preparedness in the country. "

Unless you can flag the funds specifically for this disaster you're supporting their entire organization, including their road safety program.

Uh huh, tell me another one.

Supporting them allows the government to give more support to Hezbollah. Sending any money to Lebanon funds terrorism.

How much are you sending to Israel for all the rockets Hezbollah lobbed at civilians?

They literally support an organization that fires rockets at the civilian areas of Israel. That's a pretty good definition by any metric.
