Doha / Information Office / August 02

On behalf of the State of Qatar, Qatar Fund for Development provided financial support, including an aid package, to support the Republic of Lebanon, with the aim of providing 31,250 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, as part of the State of Qatar's response to limit the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic.

This aid comes as an extension of the State of Qatar's commitment to stand with the friendly and brotherly countries affected by this pandemic and to secure appropriate medical supplies to confront the effects of the Coronavirus and provide medical support to people in the affected countries.

This support is also an affirmation of the effective role of the State of Qatar and its efforts to combat the spread of this pandemic, which represents a common threat facing the whole world, and it is based on the common international responsibility. Additionally, this aid affirms Qatar's supportive stance towards brotherly and friendly countries, and its assistance to them to overcome this crisis.

It is worth noting that last year, Qatar Fund for Development sent many urgent aids to Lebanon to address the Coronavirus pandemic.
