According to MTI, the planes also delivered 400,000 samples of a drug developed and tested in China which international researchers believe is a promising treatment option for COVID-19.
China has sent samples of the drug to just four countries. The protective gear received on Saturday would be enough for the treatment of 10,000 patients.
