UAE delivers aircraft with 50 tonnes of food aid to flood-affected Nigeria

New Delhi:  As part of the UAE's ongoing humanitarian efforts to support nations in need around the world, the country has dispatched an aircraft carrying 50 tonnes of food supplies to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The aid aims to alleviate the suffering of people impacted by recent floods that have hit several regions across Nigeria.

Nigeria has been grappling with devastating floods in recent weeks, triggered by intense rainfall, which has wreaked havoc on the country's infrastructure and forced thousands of people to flee their homes. The widespread flooding has impacted numerous states across the nation, with agricultural regions being particularly hard hit, leading to a severe shortage of food resources and a pressing need for immediate humanitarian assistance. As the floodwaters continue to rise, the situation grows increasingly dire, necessitating swift action to mitigate the disaster's impact on the affected populations and provide essential support to those displaced by this natural disaster.

Salem Al Shamsi, UAE Ambassador to Nigeria, reaffirmed the UAE's commitment to supporting countries facing humanitarian challenges.
He said, "The aid dispatched reflects the UAE's commitment to reinforce humanitarian cooperation with the international community and support nations during crises and disasters. The initiative serves to mitigate the suffering of people affected by the floods in Nigeria, while providing them with the necessary support to overcome this challenging period."

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is steadfast in its commitment to providing humanitarian and relief aid to countries affected by natural disasters. Through its efforts, the UAE demonstrates its dedication to humanitarian solidarity and support for those in need worldwide. By offering assistance to affected nations, the UAE aims to alleviate suffering and promote global well-being.
