The ambassador provided the orphans, who are aided by the Lebanese Sanabel Nour Association, with food assistance and other life-saving winter assistance in the presence of the Secretary General of the Higher Emergency Relief Authority, Major General Mohammed Khair, whom he met along with a number of Lebanese officials at the start of his tour, during which he convened with the Governor of the North, Judge Ramzi Nahra.
