The supplies were delivered using Qatar Airways’ new 777-300ER.
"The delivery of relief goods to nations in need is inherent to our mission as a global airline and a facilitator of the State of Qatar's relief aid program," said Qatar ceo Akbar Al Baker.
"Qatar Airways has a strong record in supporting humanitarian initiatives, having sent humanitarian aid to victims of the 2006 tsunami in south-east Asia and to Darfur in Sudan.
"The airline also sent three cargo plane loads of humanitarian aid to Gaza in 2008/09 as well as assisted in re-building efforts in Sichuan, China and Pakistan following the recent devastating earthquakes."
