Kuwait delivers 2,500 tonnes of aid to flood-hit Sudan
A Kuwait-based charity dispatched some 2,500 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Sudan in an endeavor that encapsulates the camaraderie shared between the two countries, Kuwait’s ambassador to Khartoum Dr. Fahad Al-Thefeeri said on Tuesday.
The cargo given by Kuwait Relief Society is the largest in the charity’s history, the diplomat told KUNA, citing the shipload as part of a perpetual flow of aid pouring into the impoverished Arab-African nation that has seen floods accentuate the misery of people displaced by war.
The shiploads are in addition to an “air bridge” set up by Kuwait to ensure the prompt delivery of much needed assistance to Sudan, added the Kuwaiti envoy.

UNIFIL: IDF violates resolution 1701 by crossing Lebanese border
United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) affirmed on Tuesday that any crossing into Lebanon is a violation of Lebanese sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a violation of resolution 1701.
In a statement, UNIFIL said that the IDF notified them on Monday of their intention to undertake limited ground incursions into Lebanon, urging all actors to step back from such escalatory acts, which will only lead to more violence and more bloodshed.
Despite this dangerous development, peacekeepers remain in position, it noted, adding that they are regularly adjusting posture and activities, and have contingency plans ready to activate if absolutely necessary.
Peacekeepers’ safety and security is paramount, and all actors are reminded of their obligation to respect it, remarked UNIFIL.
It stressed that civilians must be protected, civilian infrastructure must not be targeted and international law must be respected, urging the parties to recommit to Security Council resolutions and 1701 (2006) as the only
viable solution to bring stability back to the region.
