A first delivery of medical supplies from the World Health Organization (WHO) has landed in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa.

The World Food Programme (WFP) tweeted a clip of unloading.

The cargo includes one million masks, goggles, gloves, gowns and other protective gear for health workers, as well as ventilators for patients, says WFP.

It will be distributed to Djibouti, Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia and Tanzania and then on from those hubs to "as many countries as possible", Reuters news agency quotes WFP spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs as saying.
