Qatar sends medical aid to Pakistan

Qatar has once again stepped up to support another country amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the Government Communications Office (GCO), Qatar has delivered medical assistance to more than 80 countries across the world since the outbreak of COVID-19.

Earlier in August, The Embassy of the State of Qatar in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan provided medical and preventive aid from Qatar Charity (QC) to Pakistan to combat the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

This came as a demonstration of Qatar's solidarity with Pakistan during the COVID-19 pandemic and an affirmation of the close friendship between the two nations.

Now, Qatar has for a second time extended a helping hand to Pakistan in this regard.
