Two Qatari field hospitals arrive in Beirut to assist injured

A Qatari aircraft touched down in Lebanon's capital on Wednesday with two field hospitals and medical aid to help assist injured individuals, according to the Qatari embassy in Beirut.

The field hospitals are equipped with around 500 beds, along with respirators and other medical equipment needed to treat patients suffering from injuries from Tuesday's massive chemical explosion.

Qatar's ruler Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani wished "a speedy recovery for the injured" in a phone call with Lebanese President Michel Aoun.
