(MENAFN- AzerNews) An Istanbul-based aid group sent 15 shipping containers full of
humanitarian relief materials to conflict-hit Sudan, Azernews
reports, citing Anadolu Agency.
Food, hygiene products, and blankets were sent to the country by
sea, the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation said on Tuesday in a
statement.
About 200,000 people will benefit from these aids, it added.
Sudan has been ravaged by clashes between the army and the
paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since April, in a conflict
that has killed some 3,000 civilians and injured thousands,
according to local medics.
Several cease-fire agreements brokered by Saudi and US mediators
between the warring rivals have failed to end the violence.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimates
that nearly 3 million people have been displaced by the conflict in
Sudan.
In July, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that the
ongoing conflict in Sudan may spiral into a full-scale civil
war.
