On Thursday, Kuwait’s second humanitarian flight took off as part of its air bridge initiative, bound for Port Sudan Airport.
The flight carried 27 tonnes of food and medical supplies, along with an ambulance, to assist the displaced Sudanese due to the current floods and the conflicts that have persisted there for over eighteen months.
The Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) announced the departure of the first plane from the Kuwaiti air bridge, carrying 10 tons of protective supplies and tents to Port Sudan Airport.
This initiative aims to support and relieve displaced individuals in Sudan amidst ongoing conflicts and severe rain and floods.
Anwar Al-Hasawi, Vice President of the Society, stated on Wednesday that this aid flight is part of the “Kuwait Stands with You” campaign and follows directives from the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.
The effort reflects Kuwait’s solidarity with those affected in Sudan and their commitment to alleviating their suffering.
Al-Hasawi highlighted that the plane carries essential protective gear and tents designed to assist Sudan during its current humanitarian crisis.
He pointed out the severe rainfall in Sudan, which has submerged entire villages and caused the collapse of numerous homes, emphasizing the importance of supporting Sudanese people during these challenging times.
