The dispatch of the ship comes within the framework of the UAE's continuous relief efforts in support of the brotherly Sudanese people and the embodiment of its humanitarian vision, as the UAE is one of the first countries to send direct aid to Sudan, which has been witnessing clashes since mid-April, as part of its continuous keenness to provide support to the brothers, and contribute to mitigating the humanitarian repercussions facing the Sudanese as a result of the current crisis.

The UAE provided more than 540 tonnes of food supplies, emergency medical aid and supplies through 14 aircraft, bringing the total assistance provided to 1540,<> tons.

It is worth noting that the UAE recently sent nine aircraft to evacuate 997 nationals of a number of countries as part of its humanitarian efforts and commitment to strengthening global cooperation and solidarity, and in continuation of its humanitarian approach based on providing protection for civilians and extending a helping hand to countries in times of need.

The UAE also continues to provide all hosting services to nationals of about 26 different nationalities who were evacuated through these aircraft throughout their stay in the UAE until their return to their countries.
