ABU DHABI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 15th Jul, 2020) The United Arab Emirates today sent a second aid plane carrying eight metric tonnes of medical supplies to Kazakhstan.
This aid will assist approximately 8,000 medical professionals as they work to contain the virus, bolstering the country’s efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19.

He added, "Kazakhstan was one of the first countries to receive medical assistance from the UAE during the current pandemic.
