The Armed Forces of Greece delivered humanitarian aid to Lebanon on Tuesday, using an Air Force transport aircraft and personnel from the Special Operations Command. The mission was coordinated with the Foreign Ministry and the Lebanese Embassy in Athens.
The aid includes medical materials, essential food supplies, and urgent relief items prepared to ensure they reach those most in need. The Greek humanitarian support for Lebanon serves as a strong message of solidarity from Athens, aimed at easing the complex crises Beirut faces under current regional pressures.
Since Israel launched its military campaign against Hezbollah on March 2, the human cost in Lebanon has been severe. According to Lebanese authorities, more than one million people have been displaced, and over 2,290 people have been killed, including 177 children and 100 healthcare workers. In the same period, Israeli officials report that Hezbollah’s retaliatory attacks have killed thirteen Israeli soldiers and two civilians.
