KUWAIT: The Kuwait Charitable Development Society announced on Monday that it distributed food items and health aid to 1,000 displaced Sudanese in eastern Chad. The displaced people are in dire humanitarian conditions due to the ongoing conflict in Sudan. Director of Humanitarian Work and supervisor of the implementation of aid, Dr Mohammad Al-Rashidi, told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that the displaced Sudanese are in a very bad situation.

They do not have the most basic humanitarian services or infrastructure, in addition to the severe shortage of food, medicine, water, and health supplies. Al-Rashidi added that the Charitable Development Society, in cooperation with local partners in Chad, distributed relief aid in eastern Chad.

This includes food supplies like rice, oil, flour, sugar, and various medicines for treating malnutrition. Charity Development Association has allocated about KD 37,000 (about $120,000) for the campaign. — KUNA
