Humanitarian aid supplies are packed for transfer to the victims affected by the conflict in Sudan, at Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International Airport, in Jebel Ali in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 08 May 2023.

The report by the WAM news agency said authorities had found about five million rounds of ammunition on a private plane at an airport and had made a number of arrests.
There was no immediate response from Sudan's armed forces which have repeatedly accused the UAE of arming the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), their foes in a two-year-old civil war. The UAE has denied those accusations.
The WAM report said the plan to supply weapons had involved a group which included Sudan's former intelligence chief, Salah Gosh.
"The defendants were arrested during an inspection of ammunition in a private aircraft at one of the country’s airports," a statement by WAM said without specifying which airport or naming the people who were arrested.
"The plane was carrying approximately five million rounds of 7.54 x 62 mm Goryunov-type ammunition," it added.
Sudan has filed a case at the International court of Justice accusing UAE of arming the RSF, a charge the UAE denies.
