As Oman News Agency (ONA) reports, the relief aid was funded from popular donations made as part of a campaign to support Lebanon during its current crisis in the aftermath of the August 4 explosion at the Beirut seaport.

An official at Oman Charitable Organization said that this 28-ton relief includes 15 freights of foodstuff to be airlifted to Lebanon onboard two Royal Air Force of Oman flights.
