How the UAE Helps Sudan

The UAE provided urgent aid to Sudan when the flood caused havoc in Sudan in 2022. Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan ordered the provision of AED 25 million of aid for Sudanese people impacted by floods. 

The UAE established camps in Sudanese villages in order to provide urgent aid to flood victims and displaced people. Emirates Red Crescent (ERC), a volunteer humanitarian organization in the UAE, operated an air bridge to Khartoum to provide relief aid to people impacted by the flood and torrential rains. 

The UAE aid planes carried shelter materials, tents, food and medical aid parcels to Khartoum. The UAE’s aid helped more than 140,000 flood victims in Sudan. The UAE’s aid included 10,000 tents, 28,000 food and medical aid supplies, and 120 tonnes of shelter materials.

In 2020, the UAE sent medical supplies to Sudan that included vaccines, test kits, masks and sanitiser. The aid helped medical professionals fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
