DUBAI: The UAE sent a plane carrying 50 tons of food aid to Zimbabwe on Tuesday.
According to a report by state news agency WAM, the shipment was sent to ‘meet the needs of thousands of families’ including ‘vulnerable groups such as women, children and the elderly.’
“Sending food items to the Republic of Zimbabwe reflects the strong relations between our two nations and demonstrates the humanitarian role played by the UAE to support African countries and alleviate the humanitarian crises they face,” wrote WAM quoting Jassim Muhammad Al Qasimi, the UAE Ambassador to Zimbabwe.
Al Qasimi said Zimbabwe was one of the first countries to benefit from medical aid sent by the UAE to help countries combat COVID-19.
He also said more than 8,000 healthcare workers benefited from the assistance, which helped them contain the spread of the virus.
