Urgent Arab aids to Sudan

The executive bureau of the council of the Arab social affairs ministers has decided to provide urgent aid to Sudan at a cost of US $100 million to help Sudan withstand the consequences of floods that recently hit the country.

At the conclusion of its meetings in Cairo, the executive council recommended providing financial support to the Lebanese Ministry of Social Affairs. It also agreed to provide 5% of the budget of the Arab Fund for social welfare in support of Palestinian institutions.
