Egypt sends two plane-loads of medical supplies to Italy

Egypt sent medical assistance to Italy under the order of President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi to the military amid the European country’s battle with the coronavirus pandemic.

Egyptian Presidency Spokesman Bassam Rady said El-Sisi decreed that the military prepare and send two military jets to Italy to give medical aid, including medical supplies, protective suits and disinfectants.

“This comes in line with the historical ties between the two friendly countries, contributing in easing the burden on Italy in its current plight. especially amid a severe shortage in medical supplies, medications and others as death and infections continue to rise,” Rady said.

Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio posted a live video on Facebook showing the arrival of Egypt’s medical aid and his reception of Egyptian health minister Hala Zayed.
