The UAE is continuing its humanitarian relief efforts in Sudan by establishing three new camps in the villages affected by flooding in the Nile River state.
The Emirates Red Crescent field teams are supporting the Sudanese people and helping them to overcome the dire conditions caused by the floods that hit many areas of the country.
They are supervising the evacuation and sheltering of local residents, according to the highest safety and security standards.
A camp of more than 50 tents was established in the village of Al Fahlab.
There is another camp, with more than 75 tents, in Abu Khsous and one in Al Masid, with a total of 200 tents housing more than 1,000 people.
The residents of affected villages welcomed the ERC teams, saying the Emirati aid will help to ease their suffering.
