    Almost two months after the explosion, more assistance is being provided to help the people of Beirut recover from the devastating blast of August 4. 

    The “Beirut Relief Flight” is an effort by the Maltese and Portuguese aviation industry community to collect and deliver urgent humanitarian relief to Beirut.

    Organized by Captain Charles Pace of Transport Malta, Aviation Malta, and the Portuguese Mirpuri Foundation and Hi Fly charter airline, the initiative has provided 45 metric tons of aid, including food, water, and medical equipment to the Lebanese people.

    “We have been overwhelmed by the response of the Maltese public who have shown such solidarity with the people of Beirut and have not hesitated to help the Lebanese in their hour of need,” said Captain Charles Pace.

    “We want to contribute and help by sending emergency and humanitarian aid to Beirut on Hi Fly,” expressed Paulo Mirpuri, president of the Mirpuri Foundation and Hi Fly.
