The Islamic World Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (ICESCO) expresses its deep sympathy with the people and government of Sudan, following torrential rains and the subsequent floodings that claimed lives and caused heavy property damages. The disaster triggered worldwide sympathy for the country.

While reaffirming its conviction that the government and people of Sudan can overcome the impacts of this catastrophe, ICESCO urges its Member States, all countries, international and regional organizations, and civil society institutions, to provide, to the best of their ability, assistance and relief to Sudan in these tragic circumstances.

The disaster was aggravated by the continuing aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, the situation requires brotherly solidarity with the Sudan, a country known for its endurance and fortitude.

Given the risks posed to heritage sites by the disaster in the historical regions in the country, the Organization donates an initial amount of US$100,000 allocated to the protection and restoration of those endangered sites.

May Allah preserve the government, people, and civilization of Sudan.
