ShareKUWAIT: The Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) announced its 16th air bridge to Sudan, carrying 28 tons of food, relief supplies and transport vehicles to support displaced individuals in Sudan affected by ongoing conflicts, heavy rains and floods. Speaking to KUNA, General Director Abdulrahman Al-Oun affirmed that Kuwaiti aid provided to Sudan is guided by the leadership of Kuwait. He emphasized that this aid represents Kuwait’s significant humanitarian role, embodied through the KRCS.
Kuwait has provided humanitarian relief, medical aid and transport vehicles, including ambulances, to mitigate the impact and risks of the natural disaster caused by floods and the current conditions in Sudan, he added. Al-Oun mentioned that the 28-ton plane consists of four ambulances, food supplies, and blankets, as he expressed his gratitude to the donors from Kuwait. He extended his sincere appreciation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Kuwaiti Embassy in Sudan, the Ministry of Defense, and the Kuwaiti Air Force, commending their pioneering humanitarian role in rescuing and assisting those affected in various countries worldwide.
2,500 tons of aid delivered
A Kuwait-based charity dispatched some 2,500 tons of humanitarian aid to Sudan in an endeavor that encapsulates the camaraderie shared between the two countries, Kuwait’s Ambassador to Khartoum Dr Fahad Al-Thefeeri said on Tuesday. The cargo given by Kuwait Relief Society is the largest in the charity’s history, the diplomat told KUNA, citing the shipload as part of a perpetual flow of aid pouring into the impoverished Arab-African nation that has seen floods accentuate the misery of people displaced by war. The shiploads are in addition to an “air bridge” set up by Kuwait to ensure the prompt delivery of much-needed assistance to Sudan, added the Kuwaiti envoy. — KUNA
