Egypt sent on Friday 125 tonnes of glass by sea to support Beirut in the aftermath of a deadly explosion earlier this month.
The aid-laden ship was received by Egypt’s Ambassador to Lebanon Yasser Elwi and other Egyptian and Lebanese officials.
The explosion at Beirut’s port on 4 August killed at least 171 people and injured thousands.
Egypt has sent several aid shipments to Lebanon since then through an airlift, per Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s orders.
The latest on Wednesday saw two military planes carrying medical and food aid, prepared in coordination with the Egyptian Red Crescent and a number of civil society groups, sent to Beirut.
