Emirates Red Crescent Responds to Allegations Regarding Amdjarass Field Hospital

emirates7 - The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) firmly rejects recent allegations suggesting that its field hospital in Amdjarass is engaged in non-humanitarian activities. Since its inception in 1983, the ERC has provided crucial humanitarian aid globally, including recent efforts in the Gaza Strip, adhering strictly to the principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

The Amdjarass facility, established in July 2023, has treated over 8,800 Sudanese and 19,658 Chadians, conducting 550 surgeries while focusing solely on urgent medical needs. Claims that the ERC has refused access to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) are unfounded; our cooperation with the IFRC remains strong, and any access issues are under local jurisdiction.

Additionally, the ERC operates a second field hospital in Abéché, treating 21,761 patients. Our commitment to providing medical assistance in conflict zones is unwavering, and we will continue to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches those in need, regardless of nationality or political affiliation.
