The UAE is continuing to provide relief aid to the people of Sudan, as part of its humanitarian efforts to lend a helping hand to affected civilians and those who were displaced, Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported Thursday.

In the past two days, the UAE had sent three aircraft carrying around 52 tons of food supplies. Two landed in Chad and one in Port Sudan, it said.

A UAE aid ship carrying 1,000 tons of food and other supplies had arrived in Suakin Port in east Sudan last Friday.

The UAE had allocated $50 million to support the humanitarian response to aid those affected and displaced due to the conflict in Sudan, as well as Sudanese refugees in Chad. The UAE had also provided 1,572 tons of food and medical supplies, sent to Sudan on 18 aid aircraft, and one ship, WAM reported.

Furthermore, UAE competent authorities had exempted Sudanese residents from fines for violating the Federal Decree-Law on Entry and Residence of Foreigners as of April 15, in addition to following up on all their affairs and ensuring they are well-settled until their return to their country, it said.
