Lebanon discusses sending aid plane to Pakistan

The Lebanese government is mulling over the possibility of dispatching an aid plane with medicine, food and relief materials to help Pakistanis affected by the worst floods ever, Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported on Monday.

The report said a coordination meeting was held on Monday for that reason at the governmental house.

Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, who headed the meeting that was attended by Pakistan's ambassador, already stressed Lebanon's readiness to send an aid plane.

The month-long devastating floods, the worst in Pakistan's history, have killed at least 1,600 people, affected over 20 million others and destroyed 900,000 homes.
