ArmInfo. The Armenian government will allocate approximately 60 million drams for humanitarian aid to Lebanon, where fighting continues. The decision to provide assistance was made at a Cabinet meeting on May 14.

As noted in the justification for the draft decision, the funds will  be allocated from the government's Reserve Fund. According to the  document, 34 million drams will be allocated to the Ministry of  Economy for the purchase of food and sanitary and hygienic goods,  while the Ministry of Health will receive an additional 26 million  drams for the purchase of medicines. The list of products to be  supplied was agreed upon in advance with the Armenian Ministry of  Foreign Affairs.
