UN OCHA thanks UAE for humanitarian aid given to Sudan
The UAE has signed two agreements to address the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, amounting to the first $10 million of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' allotted $70 million fund. The second, agreed with the United Nations Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs to support the Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SHF), will bolster aid supplies given to families and communities caught up in the civil war. The FAO fund will be directed to a project called Mitigating Famine in Sudan – Support to Conflict-Affected Vulnerable Smallholder Farming and Pastoralist Households. The SHF contribution, meanwhile, will assist with access to funds to address humanitarian needs and emergencies including aid supplies and medical equipment. Both agreements were signed by Sultan Al Shamsi, Assistant Minister for International Development Affairs, at the UAE Mission to the UN in New York on Friday.
