BEIRUT, (Xinhua) — The Lebanese army on Saturday received 13 tonnes of food products from Italy through Beirut’s airport, the army reported in a tweet. The donation comes at a time when Lebanon’s military is facing serious challenges amid the ongoing financial crisis in the country. Leaders in the country have warned that the military institution may collapse as the country’s economic crisis drags on, and asked for global help on food, medicine and equipment. In the past few months, the Lebanese army has received aid from Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Oman, Turkey, Spain, Germany and Serbia.
