A humanitarian flight of the Italian Cooperation landed this afternoon at the airport of Juba, in South Sudan, from the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD) in Brindisi, with a cargo of 12 tonnes of humanitarian goods, relief materials and food aid, provided by the Italian Cooperation and civil society organisations respectively.
The shipment, made in collaboration with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), is intended to strengthen humanitarian assistance in support of the population displaced by last year’s floods and the local population afflicted by the country’s health and food crisis.
