Qatar to supply Lebanese army with fuel for 6 months

NNA - Qatar said it will supply the Lebanese army with fuel for six months amid a deep economic crisis in the country.

Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), the country’s development arm, said the fuel will be provided to the Lebanese army under an agreement worth $30 million.

“This assistance comes as part of the state of Qatar’s consistent commitment to supporting the institutions of the Republic of Lebanon and standing by the side of the Lebanese people,” the QFFD added in a statement.

The Fund had previously covered the expenses of diesel fuel for the Lebanese Health Ministry.

Lebanon has been facing a crippling economic crisis since 2019, that, according to the World Bank, is one of the worst the world has seen in modern times.--AA
