Egypt sends 1.5 million medical masks to Italy amid shortage
| Truly noble, and especially needed when Italy’s first hospital doctor just died. |
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...crisis, Italia's foreign ministry said, as the world's worst-hit country is grappling with a shortage of medical protective gear.
"The first million and a half masks...[from] Egypt landed in Italia," Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio said on his official Facebook page Saturday.
Local media said the EgypAir plane carrying the shipment landed in Malpensa Airport in the northern city of Milan.
The delivery from Egypt was followed by another shipment of 40,000 masks from India, he added.
An EgyptAir spokesperson contacted by Ahram Online provided no further details.
Italia is the world's hardest-hit country by the coronavirus pandemic. To date, the European country has registered more than 53,500 cases and over 4,800 deaths, overtaking China--the epicenter of the outbreak--as the country worst hit by the highly contagious virus.
"Doctors, nurses and social health workers are currently suffering from the lack of protective devices, especially masks." Di Maio said, adding that law enforcement and rescue workers, military personnel and factory workers are also affected by the shortage.
Another four million face masks and 100 lung fans were due to be sent from China aboard two Italian military aircrafts on Sunday and Monday, Di Maio said.
Other countries like Russia, Brazil, Ukraine and
...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor...
have also assisted Italia with masks and other medical supplies.
In Egypt, the prices of medical masks have soared, with some types no longer found in the market amid a rise in coronavirus cases -- now at 294.
Earlier this month, the Egyptian trade ministry banned the export of surgical masks and disinfectants as well as medical alcohol for three months in a bid to avert a potential shortage in local market.
