Lebanon was told on Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin approved a donation of 25,000 tonnes of wheat to the crisis-hit country, Lebanese Public Works Minister Ali Hamie told Reuters on Monday.
Russia would also donate 10,000 tonnes of fuel oil to Beirut, Hamie said.
Lebanon, once a reasonably affluent country, has been plunged into a series of protracted crises, including an economic meltdown, prolonged political deadlock and the devastating Beirut port blast in 2020.
On top of this, there has been a wave of cholera cases in Lebanon, according to the World Health Organisation.
On the same day, Pakistan's government approved a plan to buy 300,000 metric tonnes of wheat from Russia, the finance ministry said in a statement.
This comes just after Russia suspended its participation in a critical Black Sea deal that allowed for the exportation of Ukrainian grain shipments to alleviate the global food supply crisis.
