As part of the humanitarian operation “Un bateau pour le Liban” (“A boat for Lebanon”) carried by the CMA CGM Foundation in partnership with the Crisis and Support Center of the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, the Lebanese Association of the Order of Malta, represented by François Abisaab, chargé d’affaires a.i. of the Embassy of the Sovereign Order of Malta to Lebanon, received 9 pallets of medicines and medical devices and 9 pallets of medical equipment, in the presence of the French President Emmanuel Macron, during his visit to Beirut.
These donations were made possible thanks to the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Regional Health Agency and the Hôpitaux universitaires de Marseille, as well as the Sud Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Region, which joined forces in adding 30,000 surgical masks and 5,000 FFP2 masks to the donation.
May they receive our gratitude, and through them France, which never fails to stand alongside the Lebanese people and support them, especially in these difficult times they are going through.
