Quotes from this article:

These donations are our modest way of responding to the devastation that war has brought upon both the Lebanese and Palestinian people, as they have been deprived of their very basic right to safety. This act of good will comes in compliance with His Majesty King Abdullah II's vision for helping citizens in need.
