A LIMERICK-based company has donated a specialist aid vehicle to help with ongoing humanitarian efforts in Eastern Ukraine.
Telecoms company Enet gifted the specialised Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 van to London charity The Scrubbery, who have been transporting medical supplies to the war torn country.
The donated van left Dublin on April 20, travelling across Europe before reaching Ukraine where it will provide Ukrainian medical staff with vital supplies including wheelchairs and crutches.
The van was also filled with compressors, scrubs, face masks, and surgical equipment when it left Ireland.
The vehicle will be used as an ambulance to provide medical evacuations.
Enet chief executive Peter McCarthy said that the company, which is based in the National Technology Park in Castletroy, was grateful to be in a position to donate the specialised aid vehicle and work alongside The Scrubbery providing critical medical supplies.
“It’s a privilege to be a part of this campaign and play a small part in providing support to those who need it most,” he said.
