On a proposal by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian government decided on Wednesday to send one million euros in humanitarian aid to help victims and contribute to reconstruction efforts to follow the devastating recent explosions in Beirut, the prime minister’s press chief told a press conference.
Bertalan Havasi said that the sum would be sent under the arrangements of the Hungary Helps Programme to Lebanon’s Syriac Maronite Church of Antioch.
Havasi said Orbán had sent a condolence letter to the Lebanese Christian Democrat Kataeb Party earlier in the day after learning that the party’s Secretary-General Nazar Najarian had been killed in Tuesday’s explosions.
