The UAE has expressed its sincere condolences and solidarity with Greece after four members of a Greek humanitarian aid team were killed in a road accident on Sunday.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) expressed its deepest sympathies to the victims of the tragedy and to the Greek government.

According to officials, the team was travelling from Benghazi to Derna in Libya, approximately 300 km to the east – an area that has been devastated by floods. 

Their vehicle collided with a car carrying a Libyan family, leaving 15 members of the team injured and four dead.
