According to the directives of His Highness the Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani , the State of Qatar represented by the Qatar Development Fund and in cooperation with Qatar Airways provided the second shipment of urgent medical assistance to the Islamic Republic of Iran to combat the outbreak of the new Corona epidemic (Covid 19).

The second shipment, which weighs 7 tons, contains medical equipment and supplies, including masks, sterilizers, and disinfectants.

It is worth noting that the first shipment, which was transported on March 13, contained 6 tons of medical equipment and supplies, as Iran has so far been one of the countries of the Middle East with the highest number of deaths and injuries caused by the Corona virus.

The assistance of the State of Qatar comes as a matter of joint responsibility in fighting this epidemic, which represents a common threat facing the entire world. His Excellency the Ambassador of the State of Qatar to the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mr. Mohammed bin Hamad Al-Hajri said: "This is not the first time that the State of Qatar has provided assistance to the Islamic Republic of Iran, as it provided aid when floods occurred and was preceded by earthquake aid. This assistance will continue until this epidemic is cleared, The State of Qatar will spare no effort to send aid to friendly and brotherly countries. "
