TURKEY SEND MEDICAL AID TO MORE THAN 55 COUNTRIES
The boxes containing the aid carried a message for the people of Chad.
“After hopelessness, there is so much hope, and after darkness, there is the much brighter sun,” it said, quoting the words of 13th century Sufi poet Jalaluddin Rumi.
Turkey has helped at least 55 countries, including Italy, Spain and the UK, and remains the world’s third largest provider of humanitarian aid during the pandemic.
