WHO crisis response in Sudan, April - June 2023
  • UAE and WHO deliver air lift of critical medical supplies to Sudan - May 2023 (38)
    The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the World Health Organization have delivered 30 tons of urgent medical supplies to Sudan today. A plane carrying supplies for injury treatment, emergency surgeries, and essential drugs arrived in Port Sudan Airport early this morning. The shipment, valued at US$ 444 000, is the first that WHO has been able to deliver by air to Sudan since the outbreak of the conflict. WHO distributed supplies to heath facilities prior to the escalation of conflict. These were exhausted after a few days given the number of injured. The dispatch of the aircraft comes as part of the UAE's continuous relief efforts in support of the Sudanese people and reflects its deep relations with Sudan, particularly in light of the current situation the country is facing. The relief is also an extension of the UAE’s humanitarian vision and underscores its relations with other countries based on human fraternity and its commitment to assisting others during crises and emergency situations. The health supplies include enough trauma, emergency surgical supplies, and essential medicines to immediately reach 165 000 people who are in desperate need of humanitarian aid. Health facilities across the country report they have run out of basic health supplies and that national medical stores are no longer accessible due to the security situation. Among other support, WHO is deploying two emergency logisticians travelling with the cargo to ensure that these supplies are immediately distributed to 13 major health facilities to support healthcare workers and extend care to those in need. https://www.who.int/news/item/05-05-2023-uae-and-who-deliver-air-lift-of-critical-medical-supplies-to-sudanThe United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the World Health Organization have delivered 30 tons of urgent medical supplies to Sudan today.
