7 апреля 2015

By order of the President, mobile power plants, tents, blankets, foodstuffs and medicines were sent to the Iraqi province of Erbil. The cargo, weighing over 30 tons and worth more than 4 billion rubles, was delivered by the IL-76 aircraft to be met at the airport by the local authorities and representatives of the Iraqi and Belarusian Foreign Ministries. 

The Belarusian delegation visited the second largest refugee camp in the Kurdish autonomy which will receive the Belarusian humanitarian aid. The camp comprises about 20,000 former Syrian citizens, approximately half of them being children. Another batch of humanitarian aid will be delivered tomorrow to Syria.
