Cairo dispatches 14-ton relief shipment to flood-hit Sudan

An aid shipment comprising 14 tons of medical and relief supplies arrived Tuesday in Sudan upon President Abdel Fattah El Sisi's directives, Health Minister Hala Zayed said.

 

The shipment, which includes various types of medicines, vitamins, antibiotics, sedatives and surgical equipment, was transported aboard a military aircraft in coordination with the Armed Forces, Spokesman for the Health Ministry Khaled Megahed said.

 

A similar shipment is due to arrive in Sudan within the next few days to help those affected by floods that struck several parts of Sudan recently, Megahed added

 

Egyptian Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly had a fruitful visit Saturday to Sudan accompanied by a ministerial delegation.

The Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok along with other Sudanese officials received Madbouly upon his arrival in Khartoum International Airport.

 

The ensuing bilateral talks touched multiple strategic files of common interests such as transportation, trade, education, and the Ethiopian dam. The talks ended with several agreements to boost relations between the two brotherly nations, according to a statement.
