Egypt sends military plane filled with medical aid to help U.S. with coronavirus

A military aircraft of medical supplies sent from Egypt to the US to help with its coronavirus pandemic is set to arrive in Dulles International Airport today.

A US official has said that the gesture was supposed to show support for President Trump and the US-Egypt alliance, reported the Washington Post.

The decision to send anaesthesia drugs, antibiotics, body bags, masks and testing swabs is likely to draw criticism since for several weeks Egyptians have been asking why their country is giving away PPE and other medical aid when there are severe shortages at home.

Egyptian doctors have asked that missions be sent to hospitals where they are working to check the correct preventative measures are being put in place. The price of masks has soared and some doctors have had to buy them out of their own pocket.
