First Red Cross aid arrives in Sudan as fighting rages FMTNews FMTWorld
Eight tonnes of humanitarian cargo arrived today to support Sudan’s hospitals and medical volunteers.
“The eight tonnes of humanitarian cargo includes surgical material to support Sudanese hospitals and volunteers from the Sudan Red Crescent Society,” the International Committee of the Red Cross said. Bodies have remained in the streets in the capital since the conflict began, and the ICRC’s Africa regional director, Patrick Youssef, told journalists the Sudanese Red Crescent is “trying to get to the bodies in the streets”.
The shipment took off from the Jordanian capital Amman and arrived in the eastern city of Port Sudan, which Youssef said was now the only entry point for aid to Sudan.
