RIYADH — An aid airplane Wednesday left the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh laden with 2,000 medical oxygen cylinders for Tunis, representing the first batch of oxygen and its supplies.

The aid comes in implementation of orders by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman.

The first batch was secured by King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) to contribute to meeting the needs of the Tunisian health sector and helping it overcome the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

This contribution stresses the deep-rooted ties between the leaderships of the two countries. — SPA
