The UAE has sent an aid plane containing 14 metric tons of medical supplies and testing kits to Sudan.
This is the seventh aid plane to be sent to the African nation.
The latest shipment will assist approximately 14,000 medical professionals working to contain the spread of COVID-19 in Sudan.
"The brotherly Republic of Sudan was one of the first countries to receive UAE aid as part of its 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 metric tonnes, with 130 of those metric tonnes provided by the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development,” said Hamad Al-Junaibi, UAE Ambassador to Sudan.
To date, the UAE has provided over 1,661 metric tonnes of aid to 120 countries in need, supporting more than 1.6 million healthcare workers in the process.
