Turkish Charity Sends Humanitarian Aid To War-Torn Sudan

(MENAFN- AzerNews) An Istanbul-based aid group sent 15 shipping containers full of humanitarian relief materials to conflict-hit Sudan, Azernews reports, citing Anadolu Agency.

Food, hygiene products, and blankets were sent to the country by sea, the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation said on Tuesday in a statement.

About 200,000 people will benefit from these aids, it added. [...]

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimates that nearly 3 million people have been displaced by the conflict in Sudan.

In July, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that the ongoing conflict in Sudan may spiral into a full-scale civil war.
