Belarus has dispatched humanitarian aid to assist residents in Kenya who were affected by severe flooding. This aid, totaling approximately 7 tonnes and valued at over Br500,000, was organized under the direction of the Belarusian head of state. The consignment includes essential items such as frame tents from the State Reserve of the Emergencies Ministry, along with clothing and footwear for both children and adults sourced from the Bellegprom light industry concern. The supplies are set to be transported by road to St. Petersburg before being shipped by sea to the port of Mombasa, Kenya.
