The ship is carrying over 26,000 tons of corn and will head to Lebanon, a Mideast nation in the grips of what the World Bank has described as one of the world's worst financial crises in more than 150 years.

The corn will head to Lebanon, a tiny Mideast nation in the grips of what the World Bank has described as one of the world's worst financial crises in more than 150 years. A 2020 explosion at its main port in Beirut shattered its capital city and destroyed grain silos there. "Today Ukraine, together with partners, is taking another step towards preventing world hunger," Kubrakov said adding it would also help Ukraine.
Agence France-Presse quotes Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba as calling the development a"relief for the world."
