The State of Kuwait on Wednesday sent its 16th Air Force aircraft carrying 20 tons of food, clothes and two ambulances to violence-hit Sudan.
The aid plane is part of Kuwait’s humanitarian initiative “Kuwait is by Your Side”, and was directed by Kuwait’s political leadership, aiming at helping the Sudanese people amid their country’s tough circumstances due to ongoing fighting there, Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) Media Chief Khaled Al-Zeid told KUNA.
The Kuwaiti cabinet had decided to dispatch urgent food and medical aid to Sudan under the direction of the country’s political leadership in a bid to alleviate the humanitarian hardships of this Arab country’s crisis triggered by ongoing fighting between the army and paramilitary forces.
