UAE President orders providing urgent aid to flood victims in Sudan

 

In Sudan Flood, there have been 89 fatalities and approximately 50,000 dwellings have been damaged

In the agricultural region of al-Managil, which is located approximately 150 kilometers (90 miles) south of the capital city of Khartoum and is lined with overflowing irrigation ditches, an official with the Sudanese Red Crescent stated that more than 100 villages had been cut off and 10,000 homes had been damaged or collapsed. At this point, there were at least 3,000 individuals seeking refuge in makeshift camps. 

In this, President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has issued an order that AED 25 million worth of urgent humanitarian aid be provided to those affected and displaced in Sudan as a result of torrential rains and floods. The goal of this aid is to help alleviate the suffering of those affected and to improve their living conditions.The amount of assistance provided by the UAE to Sudan as a direct result of the flooding is regarded to be the highest amount of assistance provided by the UAE to other nations in the world this year in response to natural catastrophes.

As a matter of the principles it presented, the United Arab Emirates is the only country that does not link its aid to the orientations of other countries. Furthermore, its aid is not interpreted as being for political purposes, as it has provided aid in Corona to Iran, a country whose foreign policy differs with that of the Emirates “to respond to the skeptics.”
