Nassib crossing file closed but what about the shipment of agricultural exports?

The shipping vessel ‘Shaker One’ arrived in the Port of Beirut coming from Jordan last Friday carrying 24 trucks, which represent the last batch of trucks stranded in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates following the closure of the Nassib Crossing. The Higher Relief Commission Director General Major Muhamad Kheir supervised the operation of handing over trucks to their proper owners. The most difficult part of this humanitarian file is over and done, Kheir declared, after the successful repatriation of some 300 stranded trucks over three phases. He added that the next step is for the cabinet to decide on how to best provide support to the export and shipment of agriculture products. (As Safir, Al Diyar, 13 June 2015)
