Distribution Aid

 

The distribution of aid according to countries and donor institutions:
The sources of aid provided to Lebanon varied, and some countries and international organization, non-governmental organizations, humanitarian associations, Lebanese communities, and other trade companies also contributed in the aid.
The largest contribution was by the Red Crescent, especially in the Gulf countries, for the number of shipments sent from those countries were about 88 shipments, merely representing 16% of the total in-kind aid. In addition to that, the Lebanese communities in Diaspora sent around 47 shipments, i.e. 8% of the shipments imported into Lebanon, and this corresponds to the total amount of aid sent by France, which ranked the first among the aid sent to help Lebanon. As for the United Nations, the aid sent by it represented 4% of the total aid.
Most of the Arab aid entered Lebanon through land crossings, while international aid came through harbors. The Port of Tyr witnessed an increasing activity, for most of the aid (4% of the shipments) was transported to this port, due to the difficulty of transportation in the southern regions.
