The first Red Cross aircraft carrying wounded from the fighting in Jordan arrived in Beirut, Lebanon, on Monday night (21 Sept). The ten casualties including a Swedish reporter brought back were found near the airport. An International red Cross Delegate, M. Marcel Boisard, who travelled aboard the plane said food was the most urgent aid needed in Amman.

One of the wounded to arrive on the aircraft was a young girl whose identity was unknown. The Red Cross has said that the situation at Amman airport is still too dangerous to permit a full-scale operation to fly in supplies and medical aid teams.
