According to National News Agency WAM, the UAE's Air Force deployed an aircraft carrying 7.5 tonnes of relief products to the neighbouring country.

International Humanitarian City in Dubai helped pack and load the shipment which contains thousands of gloves, surgical masks and other medical supplies.
