Lebanese army units distributed on Monday food rations including meat products to families in need across the impoverished northern city of Tripoli.

The neighborhoods that received the aid included Al-Qobbeh, Jabal Mohsen, Al-Tebbaneh, Al-Soueika, the internal markets, Bab Al-Ramel and Al-Mina.

The Lebanese Armed Forces distributed the above-mentioned foodstuffs under the supervision of the army’s intelligence directorate – northern branch.

The army has been on a mission to support the poor in Lebanon by offering financial aid as the country is reeling from its worst economic crisis since the 1975-1990 civil war.
