The Consulate General of Lebanon in Rio de Janeiro announced in a statement on Sunday that it succeeded, with the help of a crisis cell it had formed, to send the second batch of a medical donation consisting of 4 tons of different medicines, which was preceded by a first batch of 7 tons.
The statement said that “these donations are the result of contacts made by the Consulate in Rio with Brazilian pharmaceutical laboratories, which responded immediately and sent their donations to the state,” noting that “the second phase of humanitarian aid to Lebanon includes medicines designated for war injuries.”
The Consulate added in its statement: “In this way, 11 tons of Brazilian-manufactured medicines were donated at the request of the Consulate General of Lebanon in Rio de Janeiro, and this second shipment will move from Rio de Janeiro to the Guarulhos Air Base and then to Lebanon.”
