A STUDENT in Scotland is planning a festival to raise funds to send ambulances to conflict zones around the world.

Umran Ali Javaid, who studies at Glasgow Caledonian University, has driven more than 40 emergency vehicles to conflict zones including Gaza, Ukraine, Myanmar, Syria, Iraq and Yemen.

Last year, Mr Javaid drove an ambulance to the Rafah crossing on the Egypt-Gaza border, where it was presented to the United Nations’ Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
