Made on Friday, November 7, 2025, the donation was made on behalf of the people of Ghana.
The items donated included cocoa products, mattresses, polytanks, and other vital supplies.
The donation was aimed at providing relief to those displaced and affected by the ongoing conflict in Sudan.
This aligns with Ghana's long-standing role as a vocal advocate for peace and humanitarian support in Africa and across the world.
The relief items are also being sent to Jamaica and Cuba, two Caribbean countries badly hit by Hurricane Melissa, which caused widespread destruction and displacement.
The Sudanese Civil Conflict The ongoing civil war in Sudan is a battle between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
This conflict, which began in April 2023, has triggered the largest humanitarian crisis in the world. It has caused widespread famine and sparked accusations of genocide, particularly in the western Darfur region.
There are growing concerns for the residents of El-Fasher, a city recently captured by the RSF.
According to the BBC, the war has claimed over 150,000 lives across the country, and around 12 million people have been displaced, making it the largest humanitarian crisis, as described by the United Nations.
The situation has worsened in recent times, with an increase in casualties and more people being forced to flee.

Hurricane Melissa devastates Jamaica and Cuba
In late October 2025, Hurricane Melissa wreaked havoc on Jamaica and Cuba, causing catastrophic damage.
The hurricane made landfall in Jamaica as a Category 5 storm, one of the strongest in the island's history, before weakening to a Category 3 storm as it hit eastern Cuba.
In Jamaica, the storm caused "total devastation" in several areas, particularly in the southwestern parish of St. Elizabeth, where the town of Black River was nearly destroyed.
At least 32 fatalities have been reported. In Cuba, the hurricane caused extensive material damage, including the collapse of homes, destruction of coffee bean crops, and widespread power and communication outages.
While no fatalities have been confirmed in Cuba, approximately 140,000 people across 241 communities have been isolated due to rising river levels and landslides.
Residents in Santiago de Cuba and other areas have been working to clear the debris.
