UAE sends 50 tonnes of aid to Zimbabwe

WAM

The UAE has sent a plane carrying 50 tonnes of essential food items to Zimbabwe.

It will help meet the needs of thousands of families and vulnerable groups, including women, children and the elderly.

"The initiative reflects the strong relations between our nations and demonstrates the humanitarian role played by the UAE to support African countries and alleviate the humanitarian crises they face," said Dr. Jassim Muhammad Al Qasimi, UAE Ambassador to Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe was one of the first countries to benefit from the UAE's medical aid campaign to combat COVID-19.

The assistance helped more than 8,000 healthcare workers enhance their efforts to contain the spread of the virus.
