Qatar Charity (QC), with support of the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), is implementing a series of relief convoys for those affected by the floods and rains in Sudan's Al Jazirah, River Nile, and Kassala states.
This comes within the framework of the urgent Qatari response efforts to help the flood-hit people at a time when the field teams of QFFD and Qatar Charity are assessing the needs on the ground to expand the intervention efforts to include other sectors such as health, shelter, and environmental sanitation.
Qatar Charity, as part of its relief interventions, managed to distribute 600 tents to the affected families in the most affected areas of Al Manaqil and El Makaylab.
Qatar Charity, through its relief interventions, targeted the affected areas in the various states of Sudan.
First, it carried out food and shelter interventions in the El Makaylab area of the Nile River state, then in the flooded areas of the El Manaqil district in the Al Jazirah State.
Relief aid is now being distributed to the affected families in the villages of Kassala, eastern Sudan.
QFFD director-general Khalifa bin Jassem al-Kuwari said tthe fund always seeks to provide necessary relief aid in many crisis-hit areas around the world and will be ready to provide urgent humanitarian assistance to the affected communities.
He indicated that QFFD's relief and developmental efforts, in co-operation with Qatar Charity, will continue to help those most in need to reduce damage and supply humanitarian aid. The assistance will be expanded to include housing, food, and health aid.
Qatar's ambassador to Sudan, Abdul Rahman bin Ali al-Kubaisi, affirmed the continuation of Qatar's support to the families affected by the floods to help them overcome this plight.
He explained that Qatar's urgent response to provide the affected with shelter and food materials was based on the directives of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, within the framework of Qatar's commitment to support the people of Sudan.
Qatar Charity CEO's Assistant for the International Operations and Programs Sector, Nawaf Abdullah al-Hammadi, said the field teams of Qatar Charity, with support from QFFD, are working to strengthen the resilience of families affected by the disaster and expand the humanitarian interventions to cover other areas and villages in many affected states.
The beneficiaries expressed their appreciation for the quick response of Qatar Charity by providing tents for the affected families.
Al-Tayeb al-Sadiq, head of the committee for those affected by the floods in El Makaylab, said Qatar has been supporting those affected by disasters.
Ahmed Ibrahim, an elderly person affected by the disaster in Al Manaqil, said Qatar Charity was the first organisation that reached the affected and provided them with tents and food.
