Turkish Red Crescent sending three trucks of humanitarian aid

The Turkish Red Crescent announced on Friday that it was sending three trucks full of humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

Kerem Kinik, chairman of the humanitarian organisation, said it had decided to send the trucks after the Ukrainian Red Cross asked for help.

“We have general purpose tents, disaster tents for sheltering families, beds, blankets and things like sleeping bags in the trucks,” he said. “They will leave for Ukraine today.”
