Britain, Germany and France have offered a $5.6 million (5 million-euro) package to Iran to help fight coronavirus in the country, Britain’s Foreign Office said on Monday.
The so-called E3 group would provide the support through the World Health Organization or other UN agencies, it said in a
statement.
The group was also sending medical material to Iran on Monday, including equipment for laboratory tests, protective body suits and gloves, the statement said.
In a related development, the United Arab Emirates Air Force carried out a coronavirus aid mission to Iran on Monday in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), the UAE’s official WAM news agency reported.
