Doha, Qatar: The personnel of Qatar Red Crescent Society’s (QRCS) representation office in Sudan have completed customs clearance for a new shipment of humanitarian aid provided by the State of Qatar, aboard a Qatari Amiri Air Force aircraft, as part of successive relief shipments for victims of the ongoing conflict in the country.
The shipment contained high-tech blood analyzer machines, solutions, medical consumables, medicines, diapers, and food items from QRCS’s warehouse in Doha.
The delivery was attended by Rashid Al Muqreh, Chargé d’Affairs of the Embassy of the State of Qatar in Sudan, as well as representatives of Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and Ministry of Health (MoH).
The MoH representative warmly thanked the State of Qatar for such a timely aid, which would help to meet the considerable needs in the states receiving the internally displaced people (IDPs) from Khartoum.
Dr. Salah Daak, head of QRCS’s office in Sudan, said the new aid shipment was part of the airlift deployed by the State of Qatar to relieve the war-affected people. He promised to continue backing the health system, by helping the hospitals shut due to the conflict to resume operations, as well as supporting state hospitals to be better able to serve IDPs.
Last night, the shipment was unloaded and transported to warehouses, where it is being sorted and sorted in coordination with the competent authorities, to be later moved and distributed in the target areas.
As planned, the medical equipment and consumables will be supplied to hospitals in the destination areas, to enable them to manage the larger numbers of patients as a result of the IDP influx. The other items will be distributed directly to the beneficiaries in the target states, in coordination with the Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC) and the Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS).
