2nd Bridge Plane Reaches Beirut’s War-Damaged Airport

Kuwait’s second relief plane landed at Beirut’s Rafic Hariri Airport on Thursday, bringing critical aid supplies as Lebanon faces a humanitarian crisis. This mission is part of Kuwait’s ongoing air bridge, established by the nation’s leadership to deliver essential support to those affected by the region's ongoing conflict.

A Lifeline of 40 Tons of Aid Supplies

Carrying approximately 40 tons of food, medical supplies, and blankets, the relief shipment was organized by the Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS). Kuwait’s Charge d’Affaires, Abdullah Al-Shaheen, confirmed that these provisions will be distributed by Lebanon’s Supreme Relief Authority, ensuring that they reach the communities most in need.

Previous Aid and Kuwait’s Steady Support for Lebanon

Kuwait has already sent an initial relief shipment, which was provided to the Lebanese Ministry of Health. This ongoing effort underscores Kuwait’s dedication to Lebanon, with KRCS coordinating the logistics to support displaced and vulnerable families.

Beirut Airport Damaged but Operational

Despite recent attacks near Beirut’s Rafic Hariri Airport, which damaged parts of the terminal and tarmac, Lebanese authorities reported that airport operations are continuing as usual. This resilience ensures that humanitarian aid flights can continue arriving, undeterred by nearby damages.

Lebanese Officials Express Gratitude for Kuwait’s Aid

Ahmad Ibrahim, a representative from Lebanon’s relief authority, expressed gratitude to Kuwait for its long-standing support during crises. He emphasized that the influx of aid is essential as Lebanon faces a surge of displaced individuals, estimated at 1.5 million, all of whom are in urgent need of assistance.

Kuwait’s Humanitarian Mission Brings Hope to Lebanon

With the KRCS supporting thousands of displaced families in Lebanon, Kuwait’s humanitarian air bridge remains a steady lifeline in a time of great need. This latest mission reflects Kuwait’s unwavering solidarity and commitment to helping Lebanon weather this difficult period.
