Planeloads of Kuwaiti aid flowed into Lebanon on Saturday just days after Beirut’s deadliest peace-time explosion sparked unspeakable devastation across the Mediterranean city. A pair of planes laden with medical supplies and food arrived in Beirut’s international airport as part of ongoing aid delivery to a country still reeling from the tragedy, the Kuwaiti embassy in Lebanon said in a statement.
“We have just received two Kuwaiti planes carrying emergency aid as per instructions given by His Highness the Deputy Amir and Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah,” embassy advisor Abdullah Al-Shaheen said, pointing out that such support will continue “in this time of adversity.”
