Sea-borne aid supplies have reached Lebanon. Food, medical kits and electrical generators are among the items sent by France.

Vessels delivered parcels to the port of Beirut as they picked up more foreigners fleeing the country. The Lebanese health minister says more than 1,500 people have been wounded in the Israeli bombardment. Hospitals say they face a shortage of medical supplies.
