Sudanese govt praises Qatar Charity's relief interventions

The Sudanese government has praised Qatar Charity (QC) teams which carried out two relief interventions in the country in co-operation with its international partners.Qatar Charity sent a new convoy of food aid, in co-operation with Save the Children, to relieve the displaced people in the Blue Nile region, and carried out a project to non-food items in the flood-hit River Nile State.The food aid has reached 214 tonnes so far. The other project was implemented with funding from Start Fund in co-operation with British organisation Save the Children, which included a series of specific interventions such as shelter, water and environmental sanitation in the flooded areas.At the inauguration of the convoy at the headquarters of QC in Khartoum, Sudanese Minister of Social Development Ahmed Adam Bakheet expressed his appreciation for the humanitarian efforts of Qatar and QC.He added that Qatar has, over the years, been at the forefront with the Sudanese people in addressing all conflicts and disasters. "We thank them for this deed," he said pointing out that Qatar's interest in the FIFA World Cup preparations had not distracted them from dealing with disasters and crises in Sudan.Dr Najm El-Din Moussa, commissioner for Humanitarian Aid, expressed his appreciation for the Qatari assistance and praised the efforts of Qatar Charity and the Child Welfare Organisation.Mujtaba Ibrahim, the co-ordinator of the administrative committees for services in the affected areas, pointed out that Qatar Charity had provided urgent food aid to those affected and continued to provide shelter, water, and sanitation through the Nile River Flood Response Project.He added that Qatar Charity, in co-operation with the Save the Children, implemented a series of campaigns to combat disease.
