Airbus Corporate Foundation and Red Cross Red Crescent medical aid for Syrian refugees in Jordan

摘要

An Airbus flight on behalf of the Red Cross Red Crescent landed recently in Amman, Jordan, transporting 25 tonnes (143 cubic metres) of medical equipment and supplies as well as medical and logistics personnel. This Airbus A340-600 test aircraft was loaded in Helsinki by the Finnish Red Cross, with help from Finnair Cargo for palletizing and loading. This mission was arranged between the Airbus Corporate Foundation and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). These supplies will enable the delivery of medical services in a new Syrian refugee camp currently being set up in Azraq, 100 kilometres east of Amman, which will accommodate up to 130,000 people.
