The supplies include 1,000 protective suits and 100,000 anti-bacteria masks produced by Vietnamese defense companies, which were carried by the Royal Australian Air Force.

Speaking at the event  in New York on Wednesday, the Chargé d'Affaires of South Sudan’s Permanent Mission to the UN thanked the Government and people of Vietnam for the medical supplies because he said the pandemic situation in South Sudan is still very complicated, even though it has started vaccination.
