CAIRO: Kuwait Red Crescent Society announced shipping humanitarian aid consisting of 190 tons of medical and food supplies provided by Kuwait to Sudanese people via Egyptian Safaga Port. In a statement to KUNA, KRCS Head of Mission Khaled Al-Zaid said that the 190 tons of medical and food supplies have been shipped on an Egyptian supply ship from Safaga to Port Sudan, with several KRCS volunteers on board.

Al-Zaid added that Kuwait continues to provide aid to the Sudanese people under the slogan "Kuwait is by your side", embodying Kuwait’s humanitarian role in offering relief to those in need and affected by disasters. He indicated that sending the aid material through KRCS comes under the framework of the continuous efforts to assist the Sudanese people.

Al-Zaid expressed gratitude to the Kuwait Embassy in Cairo, the Egyptian authorities, and the Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC) for their great efforts and coordination to deliver the aid material to Sudan. He also noted the aid provided by Kuwait since the outbreak of the Sudanese crisis in mid-April, through an air bridge in which planes transported relief materials, tents, and medicines via 16 flights. - KUNA
