The UAE has sent its 15th plane carrying additional aid into Lebanon, dropping 40 tonnes of basic food and essential supplies for children.
It comes as part of the UAE Stands with Lebanon campaign, and brings the total amount of aid carried by aircraft up to 672 tonnes, the state news agency Wam reported.
Relief efforts to support Lebanon continue via air and sea, alongside efforts to support displaced civilians in Syria.
A total of 2,772 tonne of aid has been sent to both nations, 772 via air and 2,000 via sea. An aid ship from the Emirates carrying 2,000 tonnes of urgent relief aid arrived at Beirut Port last Friday.
