Abu Dhabi [UAE], May 5 (ANI/WAM): The United Arab Emirates sent its first shipment of 30 tonnes of basic food to Sudan via Emirates Airline, providing emergency support to thousands of Sudanese families affected by the coronavirus pandemic. The UAE was one of the first countries to provide direct relief to Sudan at the direction of the UAE leadership as part of their ongoing efforts to support the Sudanese people and contribute to international relief efforts.
The relief in the UAE will help alleviate the humanitarian suffering caused by the current situation, which has caused severe shortages in many services and affected large sections of the population, especially the sick, children, the elderly and women, due to food shortages. UAE aid to Sudan takes many forms to support the Sudanese people, including refugees and displaced persons from neighboring countries.
The relief measures include the UAE dispatching a plane to deliver supplies and food to assist Sudanese refugees on the Chad-Sudan border, as well as 30 tons of emergency medical supplies from Dubai International Humanitarian City in cooperation with the World Health Organization. The shipment, the first international aid to arrive in Sudan since the conflict began, provided vital surgical supplies and essential medicines. (ANI/WAM)
