Greece sent a fresh consignment of humanitarian aid to war-torn Lebanon on
Saturday, the foreign ministry said in a statement.
An air force C-130 cargo aircraft left for Cyprus from a military airport
carrying 13.5 tons of aid offered by the domestic armed forces and Red Cross in
a mission coordinated by the foreign ministry's Hellenic Aid division, the
statement said.
On the basis of a formal request from the Lebanese government to the European
Union, the consignment includes bedding, tents and food.
The humanitarian aid will be sent to Lebanon from Larnaca in Cyprus aboard a
Greek Navy aircraft carrier currently in Cyprus, it added.
