Sheikh Rashid was informed by Dr. Khaled Abdelwahab Al Khaja, Executive Director of the IHCO, about the damage caused to some Sudanese states and cities.
Sheikh Rashid emphasised the Government of Ajman's commitment to providing all support for the fraternal people of Sudan as the Ruler of Ajman had ordered the speedy implementation of several projects in the most affected areas by forming relief teams to contribute to alleviating the suffering of the affected population.
He also indicated that the UAE has been ranked first in providing humanitarian services to all peoples of the world and has proven that it is always proactive in charitable work and supporting every humanitarian work anywhere, through its unique approach aimed to promote charity and humanitarian work.
