Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The first batch of humanitarian assistance amounting to 27 tons donated to South Sudan by the oil-rich Kingdom of Saudi Arabia landed in Juba on Saturday, with more shipments expected in the coming days, according to the government.<\/p>\n

Albino Atak Akol, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management said the delivery is a generous response from His Majesty King Salman Bin Abdulaziz to an appeal made by President Salva Kiir on August 31, 2023.<\/p>\n

The consignment is meant to alleviate the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the country as result of the ongoing conflict in Sudan.<\/p>\n

The conflict, which started on April 15, 2023, has now spread across the vast country and displaced millions to the region including more than 350,000 people to South Sudan.<\/p>\n

Minister Atak said the aid packages include food and non-food items as well as medical items.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are transported through six cargo planes with capacity of 27 tons each. The cargo will be arriving in three days starting from this today Saturday,\u201d Atak said after receiving the delivery on behalf President Kiir at the Juba International Airport on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first cargo has arrived; we are going to receive the second cargo later in the evening, tomorrow will receive another two cargos and on the third day, we will also receive another two.\u201d<\/p>\n

The humanitarian minister reiterates his appeal to the international community and the Gulf States to help the South Sudan government\u2019s effort in responding to the dire humanitarian situation in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI appeal to other donors to support the effort of the government of South Sudan to response this crisis, as Saudi Arabia has done today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not only a promise but something tangible that we\u2019ve received today. We will be receiving in the next three days. This is an appeal to all donors, the international community, and specifically to the Gulf to help the government of South Sudan in responding to this crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
