Kuwait delivers 2,500 tonnes of aid to flood-hit Sudan

A Kuwait-based charity dispatched some 2,500 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Sudan in an endeavor that encapsulates the camaraderie shared between the two countries, Kuwait's ambassador to Khartoum Dr. Fahad Al-Thefeeri said on Tuesday. The cargo given by Kuwait Relief Society is the largest in the charity's history, the diplomat told KUNA, citing the shipload as part of a perpetual flow of aid pouring into the impoverished Arab-African nation that has seen floods accentuate the misery of people displaced by war. The shiploads are in addition to an "air bridge" set up by Kuwait to ensure the prompt delivery of much needed assistance to Sudan, added the Kuwaiti envoy. Source: Kuwait News Agency
