Relief aid provided by Egypt, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Jordan arrived in Lebanon on Saturday.

An Egyptian military plane carrying 14 tons of food and medicines provided by the Egyptian government arrived at Rafik Hariri International Airport in Beirut on Saturday morning. It was the second time Egypt had airlifted relief goods to Lebanon in two days.

A plane from the UAE carrying 40 tons of food and medicines landed at the airport shortly afterwards, followed by another aircraft from Jordan. Jordan has offered seven planeloads in relief aid to Lebanon in four days.

More than 600 people have been killed, over 1,000 others wounded and more than 700,000 have fled their homes since Israel launched air raids on Lebanon earlier this month.
