Two Moroccan military planes landed in Beirut on Saturday, carrying the first batch of essential food upon instructions by Morocco's King Mohammed VI.

The aid was received by Moroccan ambassador to Lebanon Mohamed Karin and members of the embassy, in addition to a representative of the current Commander in Chief of the Lebanese Armed Forces.

The shipment was the first of eight military planes delivering basic food products to Lebanon.

King Mohammed announced he would personally fund the large donation of aid.

The 90 tons of food aid will go to citizens and Lebanon’s armed forces as the country endures its worst economic crisis in decades, which was exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic.

Hundreds of members of the main opposition group that overthrew former President Bashar Assad from power marched through the streets of the capital in a show of force.
The fighters with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS, gathered at the Abbasiyeen square on Friday afternoon before driving vehicles mounted with heavy machine guns through different neighborhoods of Damascus.
The show of force by HTS came days after members of Assad’s minority Alawite sect protested in different parts of the country, leading to exchanges of fire in some areas.
Until Assad’s fall earlier this month, Alawites held senior positions in the military and security agencies in Syria. HTS fighters are Sunni Muslims who are the majority sect in the country.
