The items included cartons of milo, milk, toiletries, boxes of fruit juice and bottled water and an undisclosed amount of money.
The Group Chief Executive Officer of the company Dr Nii Kotei Dzani, presented the items and expressed his sympathies to the bereaved families and the injured.
"Who could have imagined that such a calamity would befall people who had gone to the fuel station to seek refuge from the rain?” he asked.
Dr Dzani said “these are trying moments for the people who were affected.”
He, therefore, urged institutions and organisations across the country to endeavour to assist those who had been struck by the disaster.
"I have seen deep sorrow and anguish victims are going through and I am saddened by it," he said.
Dr Dzani expressed concern about the attitude of the Ghanaian with regard to maintenance and recommended to managers of fuel stations in the country to do well to maintain their facilities and adhere to rules and regulations guiding their operations.
He has further urged institutions with oversight responsibility over fuel filling stations to monitor activities at the stations constantly in order to prevent the recurrence of the disaster that struck in Accra last week.
The Deputy Matron of the 37 Military Hospital, Col. Ivy Tamakloe, expressed her gratitude to Ideal Financial Limited for its kindness. She said the support from the company would bring relief to the hospital, as it was heavily burdened with work in treating patients who suffered burns from the accident.
She used the occasion to deny rumours that the hospital did not have adequate facilities to cater for victims brought in from the Nkrumah Circle disaster.
