RABAT, April 16 (Xinhua) -- Moroccan King Mohammed VI on Friday ordered to dispatch food aid to Lebanon, official news agency MAP said.

Military planes will depart from Morocco to Beirut, to deliver this "personal royal donation to the Lebanese military and Lebanese people," the agency added.

This aid "comes in response to a request formulated by the Lebanese side," it said, adding that it will allow to help alleviate the economic challenges and the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Morocco has deployed a military field hospital in Lebanese capital Beirut following the deadly blasts that hit Beirut's port in August 2020.

It has also dispatched to Beirut humanitarian aid consisting of 295 tons of foodstuffs, 10 tons of medical equipment, and 11 tons of special equipment for the COVID-19 response.
