King Salman Humanitarian Center launches third phase of Madad initiative in Sudan

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center has initiated the third phase of the Madad initiative in Sudan, aimed at providing assistance to displaced and affected populations in 2026. This was announced during a ceremony attended by key officials including Saudi Ambassador to Sudan Dr. Zaid bin Mukhlid Al-Harbi and Red Sea State Governor Lt. Gen. Mustafa Mohammed Nour.

Under this phase, 40 trucks loaded with 26,240 shelter kits and 6,652 hygiene kits have been dispatched towards North Kordofan, Blue Nile, White Nile, Khartoum, and Kassala states. These supplies are anticipated to assist approximately 148,000 individuals, focusing on meeting the basic needs of those displaced or affected by the crisis.

The humanitarian organization emphasized that the project extends beyond mere distribution of aid; it also seeks to reinforce ongoing relief efforts. It stated that the initiative will provide food baskets, shelter materials, and essential humanitarian assistance, including dates, to needy families across Sudan.

The humanitarian aid is part of a broader effort by Saudi Arabia, coordinated through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center. To date, over two million people across 12 states in Sudan have benefited from the Madad initiative, with a total of 323 trucks dispatched to reach beneficiaries. This ongoing support underscores Saudi Arabia's commitment to alleviating the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.
