UAE sends tons of food aid to Ukrainian refugees in Bulgaria

The aid comes as part of efforts “to alleviate the humanitarian impact faced by Ukrainian refugees” in neighboring countries, the statement read.

There are currently over 90,000 Ukrainian refugees in Bulgaria.

Earlier this month, the UAE sent a plane carrying 27 tons of food and medical supplies to Ukrainian refugees in Poland.

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, the country has sent six planes to Poland and Moldova, carrying 156 tons of food, medical aid, and ambulances, as part of a $ 5 million donation.
