Third airlift of aid supplies for those affected by the crisis in Sudan left Dubai\u2019s International Humanitarian City (IHC), the world\u2019s largest humanitarian hub, on Saturday morning. Essential aid supplies from the World Health Organization (WHO), were shipped from the warehouses of the IHC.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Under the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and the Ruler of Dubai, the IHC has once again demonstrated its steadfast commitment to alleviating the suffering caused by the ongoing conflict in Sudan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In close coordination with the WHO, IHC has successfully completed its third relief airlift addressing the urgent needs of the affected populations and solidifying its role as a key provider of support to vulnerable people in need. Departing on 3 June 2023, the IHC transported vital supplies provided by WHO to Aswan, Egypt. Aswan serves as a pivotal gateway for the distribution of aid in the region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The mission was carried out using a C-130 aircraft, generously offered by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum\u2019s personal fleet. Onboard the flight were more than 10 metric tons of cargo, occupying a volume of around 46 cubic meters. This cargo consisted of essential medical supplies, which will directly benefit 49,000 individuals in desperate need of assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expressing his gratitude,\u00a0His Excellency Mohammed Ibrahim Al Shaibani<\/b>,\u00a0Chairman of Dubai\u2019s International Humanitarian City,<\/b>\u00a0acknowledged the unwavering support and leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in these critical relief efforts. Al Shaibani reiterated IHC\u2019s full commitment to providing immediate and life-saving assistance to those affected by the conflict in Sudan:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Over the past 20 years, Dubai\u2019s International Humanitarian City (IHC) has relentlessly committed to delivering crucial humanitarian aid to individuals in need across the globe. Dubai has emerged as the largest global hub for humanitarian efforts, with IHC playing a crucial role in fostering this positive transformation. The successful completion of this airlift mission serves as a testament to our dedication to alleviating suffering and providing life-saving assistance to those affected by the conflict in Sudan. In collaboration with our partners, we will continue our work to make an impact on the lives of the most vulnerable when it is most needed\u2019<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

According to Robert Blanchard from WHO Emergency Operations team in Dubai: \u201cThe World Health Organization\u2019s logistics hub in Dubai continues to play a vital role in responding to acute health emergencies around the world.\u00a0 Due to the conflict in Sudan, WHO responded with the immediate delivery of essential medicines along with trauma and surgical supplies through two charter, providing a lifeline to people in need of health care in Sudan.\u00a0 Recognizing the impact on health facilities across the border in Egypt, WHO is sending an additional 10 metric tons of supplies to Aswan to reach approximately 49,000 patients who have arrived from Sudan to Egypt.\u00a0 The health supplies include non-communicable disease kits for the treatment of hypertension and diabetes as well as pediatric severe acute malnutrition kits to provide immediate care for over 4,000 children.<\/span><\/p>\n

This marks the 13th<\/sup>\u00a0charter flight dispatched from WHO\u2019s logistics hub in 2023 underscoring the increasing demand for health supplies in response to emergencies around the world.\u00a0 WHO\u2019s operation is now on-track to record the highest number of emergency requests in a single year.\u00a0 The support provided by the International Humanitarian City, the Government of Dubai, and the UAE is essential to WHO\u2019s health emergency emergencies program and ongoing efforts to respond to and protect the health of the world\u2019s most vulnerable populations,\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While this airlift marks a significant step forward in addressing the dire humanitarian situation in the region, IHC remains committed to leaving no one behind and reaching every civilian in need of assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n
