In a continuing show of international support, Beirut’s Rafic Hariri International Airport received Saudi and Pakistani relief planes loaded with essential humanitarian supplies on Sunday.

The fourteenth Saudi aid plane carried food, shelter, and medical supplies operated by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center, thus reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s commitment to aiding Lebanon in times of crisis.

A Pakistani relief flight also arrived with medical and relief supplies, welcomed by Pakistan’s ambassador Salman Athari, MPs Fadi Alameh and Bilal Abdullah, and Major General Mohammad Khair from Lebanon's Higher Relief Commission.

The Pakistani plane that arrived today is the second to bring aid to Lebanon in the form of food and basic necessities for the displaced. To date, two planes carrying 117 tons of aid from Pakistan have arrived in Lebanon, with a further 500 tons expected in the next few days.

The second plane, the fourteenth of the Saudi humanitarian airlift operated by the King Salman Center for Humanitarian Aid and Relief, contained basic necessities, including food, makeshift shelters, and medical supplies.
