UAE’s Dar Al-Ber Society: A collar of salvation for Sudanese victims

Overnight, thousands of Sudanese families were displaced by
the flooding Nile River, as homes drowned and families were left homeless.
These tragic scenes motivated the Emirati Dar Al-Ber Society
to launch a relief campaign that includes providing for the needs of those
afflicted, including accommodation tents, blankets and clothes, in addition to
food, medicine, and medical supplies in order to confront any diseases that may
accompany the floods, such as malaria, so as to prevent the situation from
getting worse.
The Dar Al-Ber Society launched a campaign to send field
medical teams from the UAE using modern technology, so that field teams could provide
medical support remotely and equip a field medical hospital and mobile clinics
that provide all primary medical services and coordinate with Emirati medical
teams in cooperation with health and humanitarian affairs organizations in
Sudan, in addition to distributing medicines and medical supplies to those
affected in the various areas most affected by the floods. This also came with
full care and commitment to apply all precautionary and preventive health and
proactive measures to prevent the spread of the corona virus.
Rescuing Umm Raho
Dar Al-Ber diverted the necessary aid after many families
were affected, agricultural lands inundated, and livestock, which were a source
of livelihood and sustenance for many residents, were destroyed. The village of
Umm Raho in the Sidon region in the entire Atbara River was destroyed,
including housing, institutions, and public and service facilities, while all
families and residents of the area were displaced.
Dar Al-Ber Executive Director Mohammed Suhail al-Muhairi
announced that the society aims to provide relief to 5,000 Sudanese families at
a cost of 2.4 million dirhams, stressing that what this comes as a part of the UAE’s
humanitarian policy towards the people of Sudan.
Two years ago, Dar Al-Ber sent a delegation to Sudan to
confirm its support for a number of charitable activities, especially in the
field of education and relief. The Emirati delegation met with the Vice
President of the Sudanese Republic, and the latter affirmed overcoming all
obstacles facing the work of the society and its partners in Sudan, calling for
the focus to be in the areas that witnessed voluntary return and stability.
Tributary of charitable work
The Dar Al-Ber Society is a major and strong tributary of
the UAE’s charitable work abroad. It carries out various projects in all
brotherly countries around the world, reaching regions most in need of aid and
spreading its charitable message in various poor and remote areas.
Sudanese Ambassador to the UAE Mohamed Amin Abdullah
Al-Karib said that since the beginning of the current floods in Sudan, the UAE
has sent three aid planes carrying tons of medical supplies and aid to those
affected, supporting the efforts of workers there. He noted at the same time
that Sudan’s government and people appreciate the UAE's keenness to stand with
Sudan in a way that consolidates the strength and depth of brotherly relations
between the two countries.
The Sudanese ambassador pointed out that the UAE's aid to
Sudan is large, capable and effective, and it came at a time when the country
is going through a devastating natural disaster. He added that this is not new
for the UAE’s wise leadership, which has always been ready to help those afflicted
in all countries of the world.
