The meeting focused on enhancing mechanisms for joint humanitarian initiatives to deliver urgent assistance to affected communities, notably in the Kordofan and Darfur regions and in displacement camps.
Lorenzo Caraffi emphasized that the meeting aimed to build trust and mutual understanding with Sudanese authorities. This partnership is crucial to ensuring that the ICRC can provide the highest level of humanitarian assistance and services to war victims across the country.
