An Air Force flight took off this morning from Pisa to Beirut. The flight was loaded last night at the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD) in Brindisi of about 2.4 tons of medical equipment (hygiene kits) made available by the Italian Cooperation to deal with the health emergency in Lebanon and the growing spread of the pandemic COVID-19.
Today’s flight is part of the wider humanitarian response put in place by Italy following the explosions that devastated the port of Beirut this last August 4th and which sees strong commitment of the actors of the Italian Cooperation system, starting from the Civil Society Organisations.
