The Egyptian Armed Forces declared Wednesday that a medically-equipped Lockheed C-130 Hercules jet had transported dozens of the injured in the fuel truck blast, that occurred on Monday in Libya’s Bent Beih City, to Cairo to receive treatment at El Helmeya Military Hospital for Bones and Overlay.
The initiative came upon the directives of President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, who is the commander-in-chief of the Egyptian Armed Forces, to show solidarity with the fellow Arab state and support it through crises.
The jet took off from East Cairo Air Base, and landed in Benina Airbase located in Benghazi. After its return, the patients suffering from various degrees of burns were moved to the hospital in a number of ambulances.
