Turkey on Friday delivered 10,000 humanitarian tents to Sudan to aid displaced families, with the shipment inaugurated at Port Sudan by Salwa Adam Benya, Commissioner of the Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC).
The ceremony was attended by Turkey’s Ambassador to Sudan, Fatih Yildiz; Sudan’s Undersecretary of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Welfare; a Foreign Ministry representative; the Director of Sea Ports; and the IOM Director.
Benya praised Turkey’s sustained support and reaffirmed Sudan’s commitment to facilitating aid delivery. She said distribution would be coordinated with the IOM based on HAC’s needs assessments, noting that North Kordofan hosts about 145,000 displaced families, the White Nile 13,700, in addition to families from Heglig, Al-Dabba, and multiple Darfur locations.
Ambassador Yildiz described the aid as a symbol of solidarity and friendship from the Turkish people and confirmed Turkey’s readiness to provide continued support through its Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD).
