The State of Kuwait on Saturday dispatched a third Air Force aircraft carrying 10 tons of food supplies to violence-hit Sudan.
The aid plane is part of the recently announced airlift aiming at helping the Sudanese people amid their country’s tough circumstances due to ongoing violence there, Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) Emergency Chief Yusuf Al-Mearaj told KUNA.
He hoped that the Kuwaiti initiative would contribute to easing out the suffering and woes of the Sudanese people in the aftermath of the ongoing fighting between the Sudanese army and paramilitary forces in Khartoum and several other cities.
He vowed that the KRCS would carry on dispatching humanitarian and relief aid to affected people in Sudan.
Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Salem Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah said on Thursday that Kuwait’s four-day aid airlift to Sudan came at the behest of the country’s political leadership, and reflected its solidarity with brotherly and sisterly countries.
He said the initiative is aimed at dispatching relief aid to the Sudanese people due to the current circumstances in their country.
In this context, a committee of the ministries of foreign affairs, defense, finance and health as well as the Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) was formed, with a view to ensuring the immediate delivery of relief and medical aid to the Sudanese people.
