The CMA CGM Foundation, in partnership with Egypt’s Tahya Misr Fund, has organized the transport of 800 tons of emergency aid from Egypt to Lebanon. This maritime operation provides essential relief to displaced and vulnerable populations following a previous 60-ton airborne shipment from France. The initiative leverages the Group’s logistics expertise to address the growing humanitarian crisis in the region.
The shipment consists of 53 containers filled with medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, hygiene kits, and food items. The logistics chain involved transporting the cargo by rail to the Alexandria terminal before loading it onto the “CMA CGM Sahara” for delivery to the Port of Beirut. Upon arrival, the goods will be distributed to Lebanese authorities and various non-governmental organizations.
This action is part of the “Containers of Hope” program, which utilizes the Group’s global transport network to respond to international crises. By integrating maritime and land logistics, the Foundation ensures the rapid delivery of basic necessities to areas facing massive displacement. The operation reinforces a long-term commitment to supporting healthcare and humanitarian infrastructure in Lebanon.
