    • The secretary-general of the Higher Relief Commission, Maj. Gen. Mohamed Khair, had traveled to Warsaw to supervise all procedures in coordination with the Lebanese Embassy in Poland before returning aboard the same flight as the students.

    • Parents of Lebanese students from regions across the country had gathered since early evening at the Beirut airport to meet their children.
