The total number of in-kind aids transmitted to
Lebanon through different land and sea
crossings, was 558 shipments for the timeline
between 22 July and 31 August 2006. Those
shipments were registered at the Lebanese
Customs administration under the title of "in
kind aids and donation".
The aid provided to Lebanon varied, and it
wasn’t always possible to identify the quality
and quantity of the imported good to mixing them
together. Many of the shipments included various
goods and supplies such as tents, food,
medicines, cloths, blankets, and kitchen sets
etc… Therefore it was impossible to determine
the quantities or numbers contained due to the
lack of detailed information and documents
attached by the donor on one hand, and the need
to expedite the input of these supplies on
another hand.
The difficulties mainly focused on determining
the types and quantities, especially on the aids
and donations presented by non-governmental
organizations and form Lebanese communities in
countries abroad. This mixing between the
supplies and material did not allow any
financial estimation, especially for the aid
imported right until August 13, 2006.
However, adopting simplifies A and B models,
starting from August 14 2006, helped in
increases the accuracy in specifying the
quantities and materialistic value of those aids
distributed.
