Following the visit, they went to the headquarters of the ABCC, where they signed an agreement for the Brazilian government to collect the campaign\u2019s donations and send the medicines by plane <\/strong>to the Arab country hit earthquakes<\/strong> in February. The ABCC signed representing 19 entities of the Arab Brazilian community that joined forces to carry out the campaign, which continues to receive donations, and a first shipment is expected to be sent by the end of the month. \u201cWe\u2019re coordinating the shipment, which will probably take place in the following weeks,\u201d Chohfi said.<\/p>\n

Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese, A M\u00e3o Branca Charitable Association, S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s Heart Hospital (HCOR), Cedar of Leanon Association, Lebanese-Brazilian Medical Association, ABCC, Brazil-Lebanon Chamber of Commerce, Cdial Halal, Club Homs, Clube Atl\u00e9tico Monte L\u00edbano [Mount Lebanon Athletic Club], Esporte Clube S\u00edrio [Syrian Sports Club], Federation of Muslim Associations of Brazil (FAMBRAS), Syrian-Lebanese Hospital, Kanoun Institute of Comparative Law Brazil-Lebanon, Brazilian Druze Home, Mesquita Brasil and Antiochian Orthodox Brazilian Society joined together in the effort.<\/p>\n

Brazilian government<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Brazilian government has already sent out 90 water purifiers <\/strong>and 7 tonnes of dehydrated food<\/strong> to Syria. The water purifiers, which include a voltaic kit to ensure energy autonomy, have the capacity to produce over 500,000 liters of water a day, thus assisting more than 25,000 people. The dehydrated foods are halal-certified risottos and soups amounting to 280,000 meals.<\/p>\n

Solla said the regions of Northern Syria and the Lebanese border had been suffering from a cholera outbreak even before the earthquake, which has just made the situation even more critical, thus increasing the volume of purifier donations to help on this front.<\/p>\n

The donations from the government are heading to Lebanon in commercial flights and are expected to arrive by Sunday (12), where they will be collected by the Lebanese Red Cross and sent by land to Syria, with the logistic support from a local firm and in coordination with the Embassies of Brazil in Beirut and Damascus. The Brazilian humanitarian donation will be delivered to the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, which will distribute them across the country.<\/p>\n

Solla said that a medicine shipment from the Ministry of Health is awaiting confirmation to be sent, and the ABC received a request for donations to Syria in the electric sector.<\/p>\n
