SAUDI RELIEF TRUCKS HAVE CONTINUED TO ARRIVE IN LEBANON, CARRYING 600 TONS OF MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND FOOD STUFFS. THE RELIEF MATERIALS WERE UNLOADED IN THE STORES OF THE SAUDI RED CRESCENT SOCIETY IN THE PRESENCE OF HEAD OF THE CONSULAR SECTION AT THE SAUDI EMBASSY IN BEIRUT ABDEL-HADI AL-SHAFI. IN A PRESS STATEMENT, ABDULLAH AL-RIWEILI, THE COORDINATOR OF THE REGIONAL OFFICE OF THE SAUDI RED CRESCENT SOCIETY IN LEBANON, SAID THESE DONATIONS HAVE COME THROUGH THE SAUDI POPULAR CAMPAIGN FOR THE RELIEF OF THE LEBANESE PEOPLE, WHICH STARTED DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF THE ISRAELI WAR AGAINST LEBANON. THE CAMPAIGN WAS INITIATED UNDER AN ORDER OF THE CUSTODIAN OF THE TWO HOLY MOSQUES, KING ABDULLAH BIN ABDULAZIZ. AL-RIWEILI POINTED OUT THAT TWO MILITARY PLANES ARRIVED FROM SAUDI ARABIA EARLIER TODAY AT RAFIQ AL-HARIRI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT CARRYING MORE RELIEF MATERIALS. HE NOTED THAT THE RELIEF MATERIALS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED IN COORDINATION WITH THE LEBANESE RED CROSS SOCIETY.
