The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Makhdum Khusro Bakhtyar on Friday handed over Pakistan's relief consignment to the Lebanese Charge d' Affaires, officials said. The Government of Pakistan had announced earlier its plan to send two C-130 aircraft loads of food and medicines.
The relief goods, consisting of 14 metric ton of food items and 8 metric ton of medicines, medical supplies and surgical equipment were arranged by the Cabinet Division's Emergency Relief Cell at the directive of the Prime Minister to help our Lebanese brethren.
On arrival at Latakia airport in Syria, the consignment will be handed over to the Lebanese Government's High Relief Commission by the Embassy of Pakistan in Damascus from where it will be transported to Lebanon. Khusro Bakhtyar expressed his deep concern over the plight of the Lebanese people in the face of Israeli aggression.
