The personnel of Qatar Red Crescent Society’s (QRCS) representation office in Sudan has completed customs clearance for a new shipment of humanitarian aid provided by Qatar, aboard a Qatari Amiri Air Force aircraft, as part of successive relief shipments for victims of the ongoing conflict in the country.
The shipment contained high-tech blood analyser machines, solutions, medical consumables, medicines, diapers, and food items from QRCS’ warehouse in Doha.
The delivery was attended by HE Rashid al-Muqreh, Chargé d'Affairs of the Embassy of Qatar in Sudan, as well as representatives of Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Health (MoH).
Sudan’s MoH representative warmly thanked the State of Qatar for such timely aid, which would help to meet the considerable needs of the states receiving the internally displaced people (IDP) from Khartoum.
Dr Salah Daak, head of QRCS’ office in Sudan, said the new aid shipment was part of the airlift deployed by Qatar to relieve the war-affected people. He promised to continue backing the health system by helping the hospitals (shut due to the conflict) to resume operations, as well as supporting state hospitals to be better able to serve IDPs.
The shipment was unloaded and transported to warehouses recently, where it is being sorted in coordination with the competent authorities, to be later moved and distributed in target areas.
As planned, the medical equipment and consumables will be supplied to hospitals in the destination areas to enable them to manage larger numbers of patients as a result of the IDP influx. Other items will be distributed directly to the beneficiaries in target states in coordination with the Humanitarian Aid Commission and the Sudanese Red Crescent Society.
