								The total number of in-kind aids transmitted to 
								Lebanon through different land and sea 
								crossings, was 558 shipments for the timeline 
								between 22 July and 31 August 2006. Those 
								shipments were registered at the Lebanese 
								Customs administration under the title of "in 
								kind aids and donation".The aid provided to Lebanon varied, and it 
								wasn’t always possible to identify the quality 
								and quantity of the imported good to mixing them 
								together. Many of the shipments included various 
								goods and supplies such as tents, food, 
								medicines, cloths, blankets, and kitchen sets 
								etc… Therefore it was impossible to determine 
								the quantities or numbers contained due to the 
								lack of detailed information and documents 
								attached by the donor on one hand, and the need 
								to expedite the input of these supplies on 
								another hand.
 The difficulties mainly focused on determining 
								the types and quantities, especially on the aids 
								and donations presented by non-governmental 
								organizations and form Lebanese communities in 
								countries abroad. This mixing between the 
								supplies and material did not allow any 
								financial estimation, especially for the aid 
								imported right until August 13, 2006.
 However, adopting simplifies A and B models, 
								starting from August 14 2006, helped in 
								increases the accuracy in specifying the 
								quantities and materialistic value of those aids 
								distributed.
