In response to the floods that have hit six states, including River Nile, Gezira, White Nile, West Kordofan, South Darfur and Kassala, the Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation has dispatched an aircraft loaded with 30 tonnes of emergency relief, including 15 tonnes of essential food and medical supplies, to Sudan.
Sudanese Health Minister-designate Dr. Haitham Mohamed Ibrahim and Sudanese Social Development Minister-designate Ahmed Adam Bakheet, together with personnel of the UAE Embassy in Khartoum, greeted the UAE delegation escorting the relief assistance upon its arrival.
According to the Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation, the charity initiative focused on giving basic goods to impacted families to help them cope with the severe conditions caused by the floods.
The assistance included first-aid kits as well as food supplies such as rice, flour, sugar, powdered milk, tea, and lentils, according to the foundation, which also stated that the aid program is in accordance with the UAE’s leadership’s directives to strengthen the two countries’ long-standing ties.
