The shipment from Iran coincided with the visit of Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi, who arrived in Beirut on Friday at the head of a delegation made up of deputies and the president of the Red Crescent.
The aid sent by Tehran, a ten-ton shipment, includes food and medicine as part of its assistance to Lebanon.
An Il-76 military transport plane from Russia arrived in Lebanon on Wednesday with 33 tons of food, basic necessities, medicines and mobile power generators.
Russian ambassador to Lebanon, Alexánder Rudakov, highlighted the precarious situation in the Arab nation, worsened by the sharpening of the regional conflict.
In that regard, Rudakov said: “It is getting worse. For more than a week now, Israel has been conducting its air operations on Lebanese territory. At first we tried to count in Beirut how many times the traditionally Shia areas of the south were attacked. Now we have lost count”.
