Syria supplies Beirut with 75 tonnes of oxygen as President Bashar al-Assad responds to the country’s request.
War-torn Syria promised oxygen supplies to neighbouring Lebanon as both countries struggle with unprecedented economic woes and a surge of coronavirus infections. “We will supply Lebanon with 75 tonnes of oxygen in instalments of 25 tonnes a day for a period of three days,” Health Minister Hasan al-Ghabbash told reporters after a meeting with his Lebanese counterpart on Wednesday. The oxygen shipment, which will be delivered “immediately”, will not strain Syria’s supplies, al-Ghabbash said, adding the first delivery arrived that day.
