KASSALA / WAM
The UAE implemented four water pumping stations west of the Sudanese State of Kassala and signed contracts with the state government to drill 10 water wells, with work underway to establish additional pumping stations fed by Atbara River to address the severe drinking water crisis.
The Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Court is funding the developmental projects as per the directives of the His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, said Hamad Mohamed Humaid Al Junaibi, the UAE Ambassador to Sudan, who opened the four water pumping stations yesterday in Barakat, Abu Talha, Al Alamya and Derehesh, west of Kassala, which will meet the needs of 150,000 people.
The solar-powered stations are part of Sudan’s Zero-Thirst Project and aimed at ensuring stability and development across the country.
