Derna [Libya], October 20 (ANI/WAM): The UAE sent a plane to Benghazi International Airport in Libya today, carrying 3 tonnes of meningitis and influenza vaccines. The vaccines will be then transferred to the Libyan city of Derna in coordination with the Libyan health authorities. The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) delegation announced that the medical shipment includes 90,000 doses of meningitis and influenza vaccines that are enough for 30,000 people. Meant to boost community immunity and to provide greater protection for the elderly and people with chronic diseases, this shipment is part of the UAE's ongoing humanitarian efforts to support those affected by Hurricane Daniel. Since Hurricane Daniel struck the Libyan city of Derna, the UAE has been committed to fulfilling its humanitarian duty to the Libyan people.
