Coronavirus response: Turkish medical aid arrives in Spain and Italy
01 April 2020
An A-400M cargo plane of the Turkish Air Force carrying medical supplies donated by Turkey reached Spain and Italy on Wednesday (1 April 2020) as part of Allied efforts to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The aircraft landed first at Torrejón Air Base for further distribution of the supplies by the Spanish authorities.
A further delivery of medical supplies from Turkey reached Pratica di Mare Air Base in Italy later on Wednesday. The medical supplies donated by Turkey to Spain and Italy consist of personal protection equipment and disinfectants, including 450,000 masks. They were sent in crates displaying - in Italian, Spanish and Turkish - the words of 13th century poet Jalaluddin Rumi: "There is hope after despair and many suns after darkness.”
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg welcomed this example of NATO solidarity in action: “proud to see NATO Allies supporting each other through our disaster relief centre.”
Italy and Spain requested assistance via NATO’s Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre (EADRCC). The EADRCC is NATO’s principal disaster response mechanism. The Centre operates on a 24/7 basis, coordinating requests from NATO Allies and partners, as well as offers of assistance to cope with the consequences of major crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
