Turkey has sent emergency equipment, including PPE, to Britain to help medics fighting Covid-19.
THE first flight from Ankara took off today carrying personal protective equipment including surgical masks, N95 industrial masks and hazmat suits.
The Defence Ministry has also stated that a second flight is due to be arriving in the UK on Saturday.
The items were sent in boxes displaying the words of 13th century Sufi Poet Jalaluddin Rumi: ‘After hopelessness, there is so much hope and after darkness, there is the much brighter sun.’
