The Egyptian army dispatched a new shipment of medical aid to Lebanon amid Israeli air and ground attacks on the country, Anadolu reports.

A military statement said a plane loaded with tons of medical aid was sent to Lebanon “to help alleviate the unprecedented suffering caused by the current Israeli military operations.”

It said the aid was dispatched “upon orders from President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to provide support and assistance to Lebanon.”

Since the onset of Israeli attacks on Lebanon, various countries and international organizations have sent aid to Lebanon, including Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Canada, France, and the UK, along with assistance from the European Union and the World Food Program.
