Massive medical supplies donated by China's Jack Ma Foundation to 54 African countries arrived on Sunday morning in Addis Ababa, capital of the East African nation of Ethiopia, through an Ethiopian Airlines cargo flight.


They include 5.4 million face masks, kits for 1.08 million detection tests, 40,000 sets of protective clothing and 60,000 sets of protective face shields, according to the Jack Ma Foundation.


The supplies will first be distributed to countries throughout Africa which are particularly vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic. The remaining 600,000 masks are expected to reach Addis Ababa and be distributed to more African nations over the next few weeks, it said.


The relief initiative forms part of the Jack Ma Foundation and Alibaba Foundation's ongoing efforts to contain the spread of the COVID-19 and provide aid to afflicted communities across the globe.


Earlier this week, the foundations had announced their commitment to donating 100,000 medical masks, 20,000 test kits and 1,000 protective suits and face shields to each of the 54 nations on the African continent.


The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases across Africa has climbed to 1,114 as 40 African countries reported confirmed cases as of Saturday afternoon, the Africa Center for Disease Control and Prevention disclosed on Saturday.


Collaboration and partnership with the Alibaba-led Electronic World Trade Platform (eWTP) hubs in Ethiopia and Rwanda are expected to prompt the distribution across Africa. The flight with the shipment landed at the eWTP hub in Ethiopia, which will help facilitate transport and distribution of donations throughout the continent.


"Getting these donations to all 54 African countries, with diverse geographic conditions and different levels of infrastructure, is a great logistical and transportation challenge. We are working around the clock to make the delivery as fast as possible. " according to a Jack Ma Foundation statement.


"With our technology and eWTP Hubs, we are doing our utmost to quickly deliver these donations, so the supplies can reach those who need them most," added Song Juntao, Secretary-General of eWTP.


This donation is part of global efforts that the Jack Ma and Alibaba Foundations have promoted to support the areas of the world most affected by the COVID-19 crisis, sourcing and delivering various types of medical supplies to countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, United States, Italy, Belgium, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Slovenia.


Established by Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba Group, the Jack Ma Foundation was founded in 2014 and has been focusing on education, entrepreneurship, women's leadership, and the environment.


3月22日上午,马云基金会向54个非洲国家捐赠的大量医疗物资,通过埃塞俄比亚航空公司的货运飞机抵达埃塞俄比亚首都亚的斯亚贝巴。


据悉,这批物资包括540万个口罩、108万个检测试剂盒、4万套防护服和6万套防护面罩。这批物资将首先分发给疫情较为严重的非洲国家。剩下的60万个口罩预计在抵达亚的斯亚贝巴之后,在未来几周内分发给更多的非洲国家。


这次捐助是马云基金会和阿里巴巴基金会为全球抗击疫情在做的努力的一部分,目的是向世界提供援助,遏制新冠肺炎疫情的扩散。上周早些时候,马云基金会和阿里巴巴基金会就已经宣布将向非洲大陆的54个国家捐赠10万个医用口罩、2万个检测试剂盒、1000套防护服和面罩。


据非洲疾病控制与预防中心上周六披露,截至3月21日下午,非洲各地确诊的病例已攀升至1114例,40个非洲国家报告了新冠病毒确诊病例。


由阿里巴巴主导建设以埃塞俄比亚和卢旺达为中心的的eWTP平台,将帮助此次物资的运送工作。降落在埃塞俄比亚的这架运送物资的飞机将有助于整个非洲大陆的运输和配送。


eWTP项目负责人宋君涛说:"向所有54个非洲国家提供这些捐赠,面临巨大的后勤和运输挑战。这些国家的地理条件不同,基础设施水平也不同。我们正夜以继日地工作,希望尽快交货”,“基于我们的技术和eWTP枢纽中心,我们正在尽最大努力运送这些捐赠,这样这批物资就能送到那些最需要的人手中。”


这次捐赠是马云基金会和阿里巴巴基金会为全球受疫情影响地区做的贡献之一。两大基金会已经采购和交付各种类型的医疗用品运送至疫情严重地区和国家。如日本、韩国、美、意大利、比利时、法国、西班牙、荷兰和斯洛文尼亚。


马云基金会由马云于2014年创立,专注于教育、创业、女性领导力和环保等领域。
