The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation has launched a humanitarian operation to Lebanon, sending more than 33,000 essential aid kits in response to the worsening crisis caused by escalating violence in the Middle East. The initiative aims to address the urgent needs of over 54,000 displaced individuals facing increasingly precarious living conditions.

Coordinated through the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), the operation represents an investment of over €519,000. The shipment primarily consists of hygiene kits tailored to different population groups, including families, women, men and infants, alongside kitchen kits designed to ensure basic food preparation capabilities in displacement settings.

Most of the supplies are intended for people who have been forced to flee their homes, with women and children making up the majority of those affected. The assistance focuses on providing essential support in health, hygiene and nutrition during emergency situations.

Spain delivers 33,000 humanitarian aid kits to Lebanon to support over 54,000 displaced people

The logistical deployment is organized under the European Civil Protection Mechanism, ensuring an efficient and coordinated international response. The aid will be transported by sea from Spain, with shipments scheduled for early May and expected to arrive in Beirut by the end of the month.

In addition, the operation will be complemented by a second delivery through a regional humanitarian corridor, enabling faster ground distribution of supplies to affected areas and improving access for those in need.

This action reflects Spain’s ongoing commitment to humanitarian assistance, aimed at saving lives, alleviating suffering and protecting the dignity of populations affected by crises and conflict. In a context of rising humanitarian demands, Spain continues to work closely with international partners and local authorities to ensure an effective, coordinated and people-centered response.
