Beirut International Airport received on Thursday a Kuwaiti airplane carrying three tons of baby formula as a gift from the Kuwaiti people to the Lebanese people.

The humanitarian aid was delivered to the Lebanese Women's Organization for Care and Social Communication, under the supervision of the Kuwaiti Embassy in Lebanon, represented by First Secretary Yassin Al-Majed.

In a statement to KUNA, Group Captain Rakan Al-Zamanan said that the shipment is carrying infant formula, which is urgent relief for Lebanon, provided by (Qawafil Association for Relief and Development) in cooperation with the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense.

He also noted that this relief is part of what the Kuwaiti army is doing to support Lebanon under these circumstances.

Kuwait was the first country to rush to provide a humanitarian aid to Lebanon immediately after the explosion of Beirut port in August 2020 through an air bridge, which transported through 18 Kuwaiti airplanes more than 820 tons of needs to the Lebanon people.
