The United Arab Emirates and the Republic of South Sudan, along with international participation, led a high-level humanitarian visit to Gorom Refugee Camp in Juba, demonstrating solidarity with displaced communities who fled conflict in neighbouring countries, including Sudanese refugees.

The visit was led by Sheikh Shakhboot Bin Nahyan Al Nahyan, Minister of State, alongside senior South Sudanese officials and high-level delegations from several countries, including Birtkuan Ayano, Minister of State of Ethiopia.

The visit also included delegations from regional organisations, humanitarian agencies, ambassadors, and members of the diplomatic corps in South Sudan, where they discussed strengthening humanitarian responses and long-term solutions for refugees.

Additionally, participants took part in the distribution of food packages to refugees in the camp.

The visit coincided with Zayed Humanitarian Day ~ celebrated by the UAE on the I9th of Ramadan of each year - which reflects the country's values of compassion, coexistence, and tolerance.
