The Emirates sends a fifth plane carrying 30 tons of food and relief supplies to Ukraine
The UAE has sent a fifth plane carrying 30 tons of medical and relief materials and supplies, as part of providing urgent relief support to affected civilians in Ukraine, in response to the international humanitarian appeal to support the displaced in Ukraine and refugees in neighboring countries, in light of the presence of about 4 million refugees so far. .
The UAE Ambassador to Ukraine Salem Ahmed Salem Al Kaabi said: "The UAE is keen to provide the necessary relief requirements in situations of conflict for civilians, especially women and children, in order to ensure the provision of the necessary needs in such current circumstances and the resulting aggravation of the situation, especially from refugees in Ukraine's neighbors.
He pointed out that during the month of March, the UAE operated an airlift of relief aid, including sending tons of basic foodstuffs, which were delivered to the Ukrainian authorities in Poland to be moved inside the country or to help Ukrainian refugees in Poland.
He added: "The UAE continues to provide relief support based on the humanitarian approach of its wise leadership and its ceaseless efforts to provide the basic needs of peoples, and within the values of human brotherhood pursued by the state, which puts the human being on its list of priorities without discrimination, and without any considerations."
It is worth noting that the UAE, since the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis, has sent two planes of relief and medical supplies carrying 60 tons, as part of its announcement of a donation of 18.36 million dirhams / 5 million US dollars / in response to the United Nations urgent appeal and the regional response plan for the refugees of Ukraine.
