The UAE sent the first relief plane carrying 100 tonnes of food, medical and relief aid to help the victims of the floods and heavy rains that recently swept Brazil.

Reem bint Ebrahim Al Hashemy, UAE Minister of International Cooperation, said that the UAE’s robust monitoring systems track a wide range of natural disasters, including floods and their aftermath. When these disasters strike and cause damage, the UAE is quick to provide urgent humanitarian relief through its foreign assistance programmes, WAM reported.

The minister indicated that the plane flown today is carrying 100 tonnes of relief, medical, and food aid, with two more aircraft scheduled to be sent over the next two days carrying 200 tonnes of aid, bringing the total aid to be provided to around 300 tonnes in line with the UAE’s relief efforts.
