Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati has formed a ministerial delegation that will travel to Syria tomorrow (Wednesday) to hold a series of meetings with Syrian officials and help deal with the repercussions of the devastating earthquake that jolted several regions in Syria. 

Earlier on Tuesday, Mikati contacted each of Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Abdallah Bou Habib, and Minister of Public Works and Transportation, Ali Hamieh, with whom he agreed to dispatch a ministerial delegation to Damascus, as an expression of solidarity with Syria in light of the dire circumstances it currently endures.
