Egypt's Minister of Defense and Military Production Gen. Mohamed Zaki ordered to send a shipment of medical supplies to help the Yemeni people in the fight against COVID-19 and other illnesses.

The shipment, carried by a military aircraft on Sunday, is to be delivered to the legitimate government in Yemen through Riyad-based King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief).

The move comes in pursuance of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi's directives to ease the burden of the brotherly Yemeni people and support their efforts to combat COVID-19.
