AMMAN, June 18 (Xinhua) -- The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) on Thursday dispatched its eighth humanitarian aid convoy to Lebanon, in cooperation with the Jordanian military and foreign ministry.
The 19-truck shipment carried relief items, essential supplies, and medicines for the Lebanese hospitals and health facilities, the JHCO said in a statement.
The shipment was prepared in coordination with the Lebanese High Relief Commission, based on lists of immediate needs and the field situation, to ensure that assistance reaches the sectors and groups most in need, it added.
