Khartoum, April 30

An aircraft carrying eight tons of emergency medical aid landed on Sunday in Sudan to resupply hospitals in Khartoum.

The supplies are enough to treat hundreds of wounded, as the civilian death toll from the violence topped 400, as per reports.

The supplies include anaesthetics, dressings, sutures and surgical material, the International Committee of Red Cross said.

The hope is to get this material to some of the most critically busy hospitals in the capital, ICRC’s Patrick Youssef said.

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).
