Turkey, Qatar, UAE among donors of virus-related aid to sub-Saharan Africa
The Center for Strategic and International Studies listed the countries as among 12 that have given medical aid directly to African states.
Turkey, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are among the major donors of coronavirus aid to sub-Saharan African states, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said in a report released Friday.
The think tank listed the three Middle Eastern states as among 11 countries plus the European Union whose governments, foundations or private sectors had sent “funding, supplies and doctors” to sub-Saharan African countries. The region excludes North Africa, which connects to the Middle East via Egypt and shares the Arabic language with it. Other countries that donated to several sub-Saharan African countries were the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, India, China, South Korea and Cuba, CSIS said.
