BEIRUT:
Italy has sent 17 tons of humanitarian aid worth $200,000 to assist some 6,000
Syrian refugees in Lebanon, announced the Italian embassy in Beirut.
The
items include medical kits, power generators, blankets and water bottles.
The
cargo plane carrying the aid is being sent by the Italian Development
Cooperation, following an appeal by the opposition Syrian National Council
President Burhan Ghalioun.
The goods are scheduled to
arrive Friday evening in Beirut, where officials from the Italian Foreign
Ministry will hand them over to the UNHCR and the Lebanese government.
