Egypt's Minister of Defense Sedky Sobhy ordered Tuesday to send food and medical aid to South Sudan aboard a military plane, Al Bawaba News reported. The military plane carries four tons of food, medical aid and the requirements of shelter, as a donation by the Egyptian side to Sudan. This step comes in line with the historical ties between both sides, as Egypt continues to provide full support and solidarity with the Sudanese side in its times of adversity and crises.
