With funding from the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), Qatar's ambassador to Sudan Mohamed bin Ibrahim al-Sada, Sudan Humanitarian Aid Commission's (HAC) federal commissioner Dr Salah al-Mubarak and officials from the Qatari embassy in Port Sudan, launched new shipments of food aid to the states of Kassala, Northern, and Red Sea.
This is part of a project aimed at providing 50,000 food packages to families affected by the war and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Sudan, a Qatar Charity (QC) statement said Sunday.
Ambassador al-Sada emphasised Qatar's continuation of humanitarian efforts aimed at assisting the Sudanese people affected by the war. He lauded the relief interventions by QFFD and QC since beginning of the conflict and stated that Qatar's support for the people in Sudan will continue in the next phase as it is a core humanitarian duty.
Dr al-Mubarak expressed the Sudanese government's appreciation for the continuous response from Qatar, as well as from the QFFD and QC, to help those affected by the war in various states of Sudan. He stated that their recent intervention by providing 8,000 food packages for the IDPs and affected individuals is of great importance, especially after the displacement due to the recent developments in Wad Madani city and the increasing need for food assistance for the affected families.
The shipments of essential food items, inaugurated in the presence of ambassador al-Sada, were directed to the affected, the IDPs, and the most vulnerable groups in the new states. A total of 4,000 food packages were allocated for the Northern State, and 2,000 each for the Kassala State and the Red Sea State. Each food package contains 40kg of essential food items, sufficient for a family of six for a month.
The total beneficiaries of the food aid shipments for the affected families in Kassala, Northern, and Red Sea states are 48,000, while the overall number of beneficiaries from the 50,000 food package provision project, funded by QFFD and implemented by QC for the benefit of the affected families in Sudan, is 300,000.
