The aid, sponsored by Egyptian Defense Ministry, is scheduled to be transferred to Beirut aboard three planes throughout three days starting Tuesday, state run news agency MENA reported. The supplies, which include medications, medical equipment and food supplies along with tents and blankets, will be distributed to the refugees under the supervision of Lebanese Social Affairs Ministry.
