The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates announced on Sunday the evacuation of 10 Jordanian citizens from Lebanon.
Following royal orders, the evacuated Jordanians were transported by a Royal Jordanian Air Force military aircraft that carried food, relief supplies, medications, and medical equipment.
According to Sufyan Al-Qudah, the ministry’s spokesperson, Jordan has already sent 14 relief flights to the Lebanese people, including two military aircraft that arrived at Rafik Hariri International Airport on Sunday.
