Glasgow student buys ambulance to drive to Ukraine border and help refugees

A 'remarkable' Glasgow student has bought an ambulance to drive to the Polish-Ukrainian border to help refugees.

Umran Ali Javid funded the cost of the ambulance himself and will hand it over to charity in Poland where it will be used to distribute supplies and transport civilians out of danger.

Umran, who studies International Tourism and Events at Glasgow Caledonian University, has previously delivered more than 30 second-hand ambulances to conflict zones in Burma, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.
