NEW DELHI: An Indian Air Force Il-76 cargo aircraft carrying 25 tonnes of humanitarian aid left here on Saturday for Lebanon. The consignment includes 3,200 blankets. The relief effort is a friendly gesture towards the people of Lebanon, where several families have been rendered homeless in Israeli air-raids. The aircraft will also evacuate Indian nationals from Lebanon during its return journey on Monday, according to an official news release. ``It may be recalled that at the initiative of Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee, the Prime Minister had made an announcement in Parliament on July 27 that India would provide Rs. 10 crore towards humanitarian and relief efforts in Lebanon. The Ministry of Defence was tasked with the procurement and despatch of the relief material by the Government. Depending on the requirements, India may also send another consignment of relief material,'' it added.
