A plane full of medical supplies, including masks and respirators, has arrived in Italy from China to help it deal with its growing coronavirus crisis.

A team of nine Chinese medical staff arrived late on March 12 with some 30 tons of equipment on a flight organized by the Chinese Red Cross.

"In this moment of great stress, of great difficulty, we are relieved to have this arrival of supplies," said the head of the Italian Red Cross, Francesco Rocca.

"We have a desperate need for these masks right now. We need respirators that the Red Cross will donate to the government. This is for sure a really important donation for our country," Rocca added.
