A new aid convoy, including 18 trucks loaded with relief and medical supplies, arrived at the Masnaa border crossing, as part of the humanitarian bridge launched by Jordanian King Abdullah II to support the Lebanese affected by the war, with the participation of Jordanian, Spanish, and international humanitarian organizations.
The convoy was received by the Jordanian Ambassador to Lebanon, Walid Abdul Rahman Al-Hadid, and the Spanish Ambassador, Miguel de Lucas, along with the Secretary-General of the Higher Relief Commission, Brigadier General Bassam Al-Nabulsi, in addition to representatives of international organizations and security agencies.
Ambassador Al-Hadid confirmed that the convoy is the second organized by Jordan in cooperation with sisterly and friendly countries, including Spain and Oxfam, noting that it constitutes the third convoy within the International Humanitarian Bridge and the fourth since the outbreak of the war, and includes 18 trucks loaded with humanitarian aid and medical supplies.
In turn, the Spanish ambassador explained that his country’s contribution includes about 2,250 boxes of cooking utensils, allocated to about 11,250 displaced people, with the aim of providing the minimum basic needs for preparing food under difficult circumstances.
For his part, Brigadier General Bassam Al-Nabulsi thanked King Abdullah II and the Jordanian people for the humanitarian initiative, considering that “Lebanon’s true wealth lies in its friends and brothers who stand by its side in various crises.”
He also welcomed the Spanish ambassador, praising the support provided to Lebanon, and noting that the convoy will be transported to Rayak Air Base, where the aid will undergo sorting operations before being distributed by the Higher Relief Commission to the displaced in various Lebanese regions.
In light of the continuing repercussions of war and widespread internal displacement, Arab and international initiatives are continuing to secure humanitarian support for Lebanon, at a time when shelter centers and concerned parties are facing increasing pressure to meet the basic needs of the displaced, especially with the high demand for food and medical supplies and relief services.
