RIYADH: Saudi Arabia's King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center on Friday distributed food aid and shelter assistance to flood-affected families in Sudan.
The move came under the directives of King Salman and forms part of the Saudi airlift efforts that KSrelief recently dispatched to support the Sudanese people who have been affected by the torrential rains, which have swept through several cities and states and led to heavy losses in lives and property.
The center’s specialized technical team was able to reach isolated and flood-hit areas and succeeded in delivering shelter and food assistance to the locals, to alleviate their suffering and improve their living conditions.
On Thursday, two Saudi relief planes arrived as part of the Saudi relief airlift to the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, carrying more than 100 tons of food and shelter aid to alleviate the suffering of those affected by the floods.
This comes within the ongoing framework of humanitarian and relief assistance provided by the Kingdom, represented by the Center, to help the needy and affected countries around the world.
