Airport workers transport humanitarian aid, provided by Egypt, at Lebanon's Beirut international airport on October 5, 2024.
In a statement to Al-Qahera News from Beirut, the Egyptian Ambassador to Lebanon, Alaa Moussa, said the Egyptian aid plane carried 22 tons of medical and relief supplies, noting that more planes loaded with aid are expected to arrive in the coming days.
Moussa stressed that "what we are doing is an attempt to alleviate the burden of the Israeli aggression on the displaced."
He added that Egypt has repeatedly warned against the conflict's expansion to other areas, and it has indeed happened.
On Friday, the Egyptian Embassy in Lebanon announced that it arranged a special flight on Saturday for Egyptians in Lebanon who wish to return to Egypt.
