The Secretary-General of the Lebanese Red Cross, Georges Kettaneh, announced that “the Lebanese teams were ready and had experience in dealing with the experiences that took place in Lebanon, and despite that, we identified the strengths and weaknesses following the relief operations.”
In an interview with the “LBCI” channel, Kittaneh pointed out that “when we arrive in the country, they direct us to the locations that we must go to, and we have to walk according to their laws and their constitution, although we wanted to be in the places of the Lebanese victims, but despite that we tried to communicate.” Therefore,” revealing that “today there are Lebanese convoys going to Syria to deliver Italian donations, and we are making a safe passage from Lebanon to Syria in order to send donations to the Syrian Red Crescent.”
He stressed that the Lebanese Red Cross “is working on larger equipment and precautionary plans for the coming years,” pointing out that “the Turkish Red Crescent was the one who requested relief from Lebanon, and we worked to send a team, but we kept a number of rescuers in Lebanon in case anything happened.”
He stressed the importance of each person preparing himself, and examining the building in which he lives, for the sake of his safety and the safety of his family members.
