A 7-tonne shipment of medical aid, provided by the Qatar Charity and professional associations for Sudanese working in Qatar, with a total value of QR2mn, has arrived in the Sudanese capital Khartoum.
The shipment was received by Sudan's Minister of Health Dr Akram Ali Altom, Acting Charge d'Affairs in the embassy of Qatar in Sudan Talal Farhan al-Anzi, and several officials of the Supreme Committee for Health Emergencies.
The aid included protection tools for doctors and health personnel to tackle the coronavirus (Covid-19). Dr Altom thanked Qatar's government, people, and organisation for its permanent standing with Sudan, stressing that the relationship between the two countries is historic.
Qatar has always provided technical and material assistance, relief, and support to Sudan, and it is still providing them, he said.
Sudan Humanitarian Aid Commissioner Abbas Fadlallah said that Qatar has always stood with Sudan to confront disasters, the last of which was during the floods when Qatar established an airlift to help those affected.
He thanked Qatar for its permanent support.
Al-Anzi pointed out that this assistance comes within the framework of the distinguished relations between the two brotherly countries and fraternal ties between Qatar and Sudan.
He also affirmed Qatar's leadership commitment to enhancing those relations in the interest of both countries.
