“Medical and humanitarian aid that arrived from Egypt to Lebanon after the Beirut explosion on August 4, 2020, extremely eased people's pain, especially in these difficult times in which we live,” she added. Egyptian ambassador to Lebanon Yasser Elwi said that this batch was specifically provided to the Lebanese army, adding that it includes ten tons of medical and medicine, in addition to about five tons of food. Late January 2021, three Egyptian military jets landed in Beirut-Rafiq Hariri International Airport carrying aid embodied in medicines, medical equipment and devices as well as baby formula. The shipment consists of 16,000 tons of baby formula, and 15,000 tons of face masks, gloves, goggles, gowns, and others. The hospital has offered medical services to 100,000 Lebanese, including free medicines and treatment, according to previous statements by Egyptian Miniter of Health Hala Zaid.
