Lebanon’s president Michel Aoun welcomed this Thursday (13) a Brazilian delegation led by former president Michel Temer that flew to Lebanon to deliver donated supplies. Temer was chosen by Brazil’s federal government to helm the mission. He and his entourage boarded a Beirut-bound Embraer 190 (VC-2) aircraft from São Paulo on Wednesday (12). Another plane – a KC-390 Millenium – took off carrying donations from Brazil’s Ministry of Health and organizations including the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC).

Sneakers are becoming increasingly popular among women in the Middle East – a demographic that stereotypically splurges on fancy clothing with ornate embellishments, paired with more “ladylike” shoes. While glamour has traditionally been the driving force behind fashion in the region, comfort is now heavily influencing style movements, particularly modest fashion and sneaker culture, Arab News reported.
