Health Minister Kemal Memişoğlu announced that three Turkish citizens injured in a traffic accident in Egypt last week have been brought to Turkey by ambulance plane.
In a post on his social media account, Minister Memişoğlu said, "With the understanding that people are our priority, we stand by our citizens wherever they are in the world."
Memişoğlu added, "A few days ago, we transferred three of our citizens who had a traffic accident in Egypt to Istanbul by ambulance plane. I thank everyone involved in this operation, and I wish our citizens a speedy recovery."
Last Wednesday, in the Ras Sidr region in northeastern Egypt, a bus carrying Turkish tourists collided with a truck, injuring 26 Turkish citizens and one Azerbaijani citizen. Turkey's Embassy in Cairo had issued a statement regarding the accident.
