The air bridge transporting the emergency medical aid ordered by King Mohammed VI for the benefit of Tunisia, which is experiencing a worsening of its epidemiological situation related to Covid-19, continues. A new plane landed on Saturday at Tunis-Carthage International Airport.

With this new aircraft, the total number of Royal Air Force planes that have landed in Tunis has reached eight planes, transporting nearly 103 tons and 68 kilograms of aid, according to a press release relayed by MAP.

The medical aid ordered by the King consists of two complete and autonomous intensive care units, with a total capacity of 100 beds. It also includes 100 ventilators and two oxygen generators with a capacity of 33 m³/hour each.

This initiative is part of the support for the Tunisian state’s efforts to fight the spread of the new Coronavirus, and within the framework of the solidarity relations between Tunisia and Morocco.
