Israeli organization says it will send medical aid to Lebanon
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Israeli group says it is planning to fly medical and humanitarian aid to Lebanon to support those injured in the Beirut blast on Tuesday, which killed more than 130 people and wounded thousands.
SmartAID says it will fly in personal protective equipment, ventilators, medical items for burn victims, general supplies for injuries and solar lights, along with more equipment.
The items are being collected in warehouses in North America and Australia, the organization says.
The equipment is meant to be distributed at health institutions and children care facilities.
Lebanon has not approved Israel’s offer to help the country deal with the devastation caused by the explosion, and it isn’t clear whether it will accept this aid either.
