MoND's humanitarian actions in support of the civilian population in Lebanon

Two Romanian Air Force aircraft were scrambled on Wednesday, April 15, at around 10:15 a.m., from the 90th Air Base, in Otopeni, to airlift humanitarian aid for the civilian population of Lebanon, who is facing a humanitarian crisis.


Thus, a C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and a C-27J Spartan aircraft carrying 15 tons of food, tents and quartermaster elements from the national state reserves will arrive in Amman and, subsequently, as part of a multinational humanitarian convoy, in Beirut.


The humanitarian support request was received by Romania through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.
