As part of the ongoing humanitarian efforts of Qatar, the Governor of Sudan's Khartoum State, Ahmed Osman Hamza, launched a massive convoy of food aid in the Karari locality, provided by Qatar Charity to families affected by the current crisis in Sudan. This is part of a project aimed at providing 50,000 food packages to affected families in Sudan. This project is implemented by Qatar Charity’s field teams and funded by the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD).

The Governor of Khartoum expressed his gratitude to the State of Qatar and its people for standing with the Sudanese people in all the hardships and disasters. He also highlighted the significant contributions of the Qatari people through QFFD and Qatar Charity. This came during the inauguration of the convoy of aid, which was provided by Qatar Charity, and consisted of 10,000 food packages for 60,000 beneficiaries.

Mr. Sadeq Farini, Minister of Social Development in Khartoum State, emphasized that Qatar Charity's timely arrival with substantial food aid is a significant support for the local people. He also highlighted the strong partnership between his ministry and Qatar Charity to serve vulnerable groups like women, children, and the elderly in Khartoum State.

Qatar Charity aims to Distribute Food Aid to Needy and Displaced Families and the most vulnerable groups, in coordination with relevant authorities in Khartoum State. Mr. Khalid Abdul Rahim, Humanitarian Aid Commissioner in Khartoum State, stated that the significant food assistance provided by Qatar Charity will have a substantial impact on the beneficiaries.

It is worth mentioning that Qatar Charity has been actively involved in mitigating disasters and crises since it started working in Sudan three decades ago. It was among the first organizations to implement a series of humanitarian interventions across various states of Sudan from the early days of the conflict outbreak. These interventions include aid provided to those affected in the Karari locality of Khartoum State. The aid consisted of essential food supplies for affected families.
