Unfortunately ST, it is very political. How do they now get their food and supplies ?
Lebanon borders Israel and Syria. Israel .I doubt can transport food across the border . Operated by UN and passage for regular use is forbidden.
Syria hasn't got any food to offer, their own supplies of food and medicine having been subjected to outside political sabotage one way or another. They too are on the verge of starvation .
No other country can transport food into Syria it's not allowed and UN supplies are snaffled by the terroists. So as far as Lebanon is concerned, there's no viable option for food, medical supplies or anything else so far as I can see.
A smaller port at Tripoli, might be the only answer.
I must say Syria have been supportive with the casualties. Here is a very personal message from someone who lives there , and which I feel says a lot for the Syrian people and their compassion.
Maybe the world will focus more on the region and how the struggling has been ongoing for so many years not just on the 4th August 2020. +++++++

Never in my life ,have I met a more loving people than the Syrian people .
They sent ambulances to Lebanon to collect injured and bring them to Syria .
The world closed its doors on the Syrian people for close to a decade .
yet syria welcomes the world with open arms and a song in its heart .
Refugees from many nations in the past can testify to this .
Now it gives to the needed invaluable help .medical aid .
To the people of Syria I thank you .for being human .
I am so proud of these wonderful people I call friends
