Funded by Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), Qatar's Charge d'Affaires Abdullah bin Rashid Al Mohanadi, along with representatives from the Humanitarian Aid Commission, Qatar Charity (QC), and the Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS), received three shipments of urgent aid at Port Sudan Airport for families affected by flash floods and rains. This is part of Qatar's significant humanitarian efforts in the region.
Al-Sadiq Adam Ibrahim, representative of the Federal Humanitarian Aid Commission, expressed his appreciation for Qatar’s swift response and continuous support. "We extend our thanks to the people and government of Qatar for their exceptional support. They have consistently stood by their brothers in Sudan, and we pray that this assistance will positively contribute to easing the suffering of our people in Sudan."
Mushaal Naser AlHajeri, head of the Monitoring and Rapid Response Section at QC, which, alongside QRCS, coordinates and delivers aid to affected families on the ground, stated that Qatar Charity, as always, has remained at the forefront of providing aid to its brothers in any crisis they face worldwide.
Hamad Abdul Wahab, director of the Emergency Department at the Humanitarian Aid Commission, stated that QC has been generous to the affected Sudanese, providing food and medical aid. "It has consistently been one of the first organisations we turn to for humanitarian assistance, particularly during emergencies this autumn.”
Tareq Mohiuddin, acting director of QC’s office in Sudan, announced the arrival of approximately 430 tents from QFFD, which will be distributed through QC and QRCS. The shipments also included thousands of mattresses and blankets provided by QC. He noted that QC has always been present with such remarkable efforts in addressing disasters and mitigating crises in Sudan. This substantial support from QFFD aims to help those affected by the floods and heavy rains in the Northern State and Nile River State, specifically in the hardest-hit areas of Merowe and Abu Hamad.
