A Scottish student who sold his graphics card to buy an ambulance is driving to the Ukrainian border to donate the emergency vehicle as well as medical supplies to benefit war victims.

Umran Ali Javaid traded the computer device for cash and used his savings and money from his mother to make up the rest of the £2,500 cost of the ambulance.

Speaking to The National, Mr Javaid said he plans to set off from his home town of Glasgow on Friday and take a ferry from Newcastle to the Netherlands before driving to the Medyka crossing on the Polish-Ukrainian border, where charity staff will be waiting for him.

UK minister warns Russia-Ukraine war may have reached point of no return

The Scotsman said he is determined to keep his 100 per cent attendance record and not miss any classes at Glasgow Caledonian University, where he is a third-year student studying international tourism and events.

Umran Ali Javaid is preparing to drive 2,500 kilometres from Glasgow to the Polish-Ukrainian border to donate an ambulance for war victims. PA

“Everyone is trying to help in the best way they can and I know that I can help in this way,” he said.

“The ambulance will be used to transport injured people and disabled people. It’s heartbreaking [to see] what’s going on in Ukraine. In most wars, civilians have to pay the highest price, so I’m going to go there.”

While his plan clearly involves a mammoth effort and lots of planning, the student is not overwhelmed by the 2530-kilometre journey that lies ahead of him.

“It’s not a big deal what I am doing, it’s going to take me four days maximum,” he said.

Mr Javaid plans to fill the ambulance with medical supplies as he drives towards Medyka, where he will be met by charity workers helping Ukrainians escaping the Russian invasion.

Once in Ukraine, the ambulance will be used to distribute supplies and transport civilians out of immediate danger.

After handing over the vehicle and donations, Mr Javaid plans to take a flight back to Scotland in time for class on Tuesday.

In recent years, he has become an old hand at navigating long trips to deliver aid to war victims.

The aspiring events manager has delivered more than 30 second-hand ambulances to war zones around the world including Iraq, Syria, Gaza, Yemen and Burma.

The Syrian war stands out in his mind as his most harrowing experience.

“It was very bad there, there were a lot of bombings,” he recalled.

“If you had to see the things that I have seen … sometimes it makes me feel bad when I come back to the UK and everything is hunky-dory, so I want to help more.

“It does take its toll on you. It’s sad seeing a human being in a bad place. It makes me appreciate what we have here.”

The 3.5-tonne vehicle was purchased in Newcastle and was previously used to transport patients in the north of England.

Dr Pauline Bell, senior lecturer in fashion and marketing at GCU and one of Mr Javaid's tutors, said: “Umran is a remarkable, unassuming young man who is an inspiration to others.

“He thinks little of using his spare time to help others and embarking on incredible journeys to deliver ambulances to people in need.”

Nutritional yeast

This is Firth's pick and an ingredient he says, "gives you an instant cheesy flavour". He advises making your own cream cheese with it or simply using it to whip up a mac and cheese or wholesome lasagne. It's available in organic and specialist grocery stores across the UAE.

Seeds

"We've got a big jar of mixed seeds in our kitchen," Theasby explains. "That's what you use to make a bolognese or pie or salad: just grab a handful of seeds and sprinkle them over the top. It's a really good way to make sure you're getting your omegas."

Umami flavours

"I could say soya sauce, but I'll say all umami-makers and have them in the same batch," says Firth. He suggests having items such as Marmite, balsamic vinegar and other general, dark, umami-tasting products in your cupboard "to make your bolognese a little bit more 'umptious'".

Onions and garlic

"If you've got them, you can cook basically anything from that base," says Theasby. "These ingredients are so prevalent in every world cuisine and if you've got them in your cupboard, then you know you've got the foundation of a really nice meal."

Your grain of choice

Whether rice, quinoa, pasta or buckwheat, Firth advises always having a stock of your favourite grains in the cupboard. "That you, you have an instant meal and all you have to do is just chuck a bit of veg in."

WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE?

1. Black holes are objects whose gravity is so strong not even light can escape their pull

2. They can be created when massive stars collapse under their own weight

3. Large black holes can also be formed when smaller ones collide and merge

4. The biggest black holes lurk at the centre of many galaxies, including our own

5. Astronomers believe that when the universe was very young, black holes affected how galaxies formed

Although similar in its appearance, the concept of a fractional title deed is unlike that of a timeshare, which usually involves multiple investors buying “time” in a property whereby the owner has the right to occupation for a specified period of time in any year, as opposed to the actual real estate, said John Peacock, Head of Indirect Tax and Conveyancing, BSA Ahmad Bin Hezeem & Associates, a law firm.
