An Egyptian plane carrying medical aid arrived Wednesday at Benina International Airport to help in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

Armed Forces Spokesman Colonel Tamer al-Rifai said the aid was sent on upon the directives of President Abdel Fattah el Sisi to provide large quantities of medicines and medical requirements from the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population to the friendly country.

This falls within the framework of Egypt’s support and solidarity with Libyans in all circumstances.

Sources from Benghazi said that the arrival of the second shipment was coordinated between Commander in Chief of the Libyan Army and Sisi.
