India is in the process of delivering humanitarian assistance to Sudan, South Sudan, Djibouti and Eritrea in the form of food amid natural calamities and the Covid pandemic, said the MEA.

Navy’s INS Airavat left Mumbai on October 24 for this region with aid consisting of wheat flour, rice and sugar.

The ship will depart the Port of Djibouti, where it has unloaded food aid, and will reach Mombasa (Kenya) on November 20 to deliver aid to South Sudan.

INS Airavat had earlier delivered food aid after reaching Port Sudan on November 2. It then docked at Massawa on November 6 to deliver food aid meant for Eritrea. “This gesture has been greatly appreciated by the countries concerned,” said MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
