MOSCOW (Sputnik) - In April, at the International Humanitarian Conference for Sudan and Neighboring Countries, the UAE committed to providing $100 million to Sudan via UN agencies. Last week, the UAE Foreign Ministry said that 70% of the pledged sum had been allocated.
The UAE signed an agreement with the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs to provide $5 million to the Sudan Humanitarian Fund to support people caught up in the humanitarian crisis during the ongoing armed conflict in the North African country, the UAE Foreign Ministry said.
"The United Arab Emirates has signed an agreement with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) to allocate USD 5 million to support the Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SHF)," the ministry said in a statement on Friday.
