The field teams of Qatar Charity (QC) initiated the distribution of urgent relief aid to the victims of the unprecedented devastating flood in Sudan. The teams have delivered food parcels, personal hygiene kits, mattresses, and blankets to the most affected people in Ad-Dāmar and Berber of the River Nile State, as well as in Jabal Awliya and Bahri in the Khartoum State.

The urgent humanitarian intervention comes within the framework of the relief campaign entitled “Peace for Sudan”, which was launched by Qatar Charity to provide QR7.3mn urgent shelter and food aid to the affected people in Sudan. As part of the campaign, which is expected to benefit 75,000 persons, the field teams will distribute medical and study tents and other shelter essentials, in addition to giving tents to vulnerable families.

The flood is described as the worst one in Sudan during a century, which has affected more than half a million people and destroyed over 100,000 homes. Besides, 2,705 utilities were damaged, and nearly 100 persons were killed due to the flooding.

Qatar Charity appeals to the people in Qatar to support Sudan flood victims, who are in desperate need of emergency aid, and help them survive this humanitarian disaster, urging benefactors to contribute to Qatar Charity’s “Peace for Sudan” relief campaign to maximize the number of food and shelter aid beneficiaries.
