United Arab Emirates, sent another batch of aid to Sudan

An help plane carrying 14 tonnes of medical supplies and test kits has been sent to Sudan by the UAE. About 14,000 medical practitioners will be helped by the aid as they work to suppress the coronavirus.

"The brotherly Republic of Sudan was one of the first countries to receive UAE aid as part of its efforts efforts to combat Covid-19. The first shipment of medical aid was sent last April and was followed by numerous other shipments over the past nine months comprising a total of 230 tonnes, with 130 of those tonnes provided by the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development."

"Continuing to operate the UAE’s air bridge to Sudan affirms the strong and distinguished relations between both countries and the UAE’s keenness to support the health sector in Sudan and strengthen the government’s work by providing direct support to medical workers, including doctors and nurses, and offering equipment to combat the pandemic," he added.
