ERC provides Ramadan aid to Sudanese families in 7 states

The ERC is working in coordination with the UAE Embassy in Khartoum and local partners in Sudan to immediately deliver aid to the eligible people in different states

The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) has started providing urgent humanitarian aid during the Holy Month of Ramadan to thousands of families in Khartoum, West Darfur, North Kordofan, Kassala, River Nile, and Gezira, and Northern.

The gesture has been implemented on the directives of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union (GWU), Chairwoman of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation (FDF), Honorary Chairperson of the ERC and the ‘’Mother of the Nation’’.

Sheikha Fatima instructed the ERC to quickly deliver aid to provide the fasting people with the necessary Ramadan materials and supplies, and to pay special attention to families affected by the current health conditions, and to enhance their ability to address the humanitarian, social, and economic challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The ERC announced that it had immediately begun implementing the directives of Sheikha Fatima and operated an air bridge with three planes that arrived at Khartoum International Airport, successively carrying hundreds of tonnes of necessary foodstuffs.
