Lebanon parliament speaker calls for UN air bridge for aid

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, a Hezbollah ally, on Tuesday called for a United Nations air bridge for aid deliveries for almost a million people displaced by Israeli strikes.

Berri called on the United Nations to establish an "air bridge to ensure the delivery of relief supplies", a statement issued by his office said, also urging the International and Lebanese Red Cross to "carry out their duties in delivering relief and medical supplies to south Lebanon".
