UAE pours out its generosity to help Yemen

Some 181,000 Yemeni families in the cities of Seiyun, Shibam and neighbouring villages in the province of Hadramawt have received food packages from the Emirates Red Crescent in the past three months.
 
Director of the Emirates Red Crescent's office in Seiyun and Shibam, Nasser Al Kathiri, told the Yemeni News Agency, that of those, 17,268 families were displaced from other Yemeni provinces.
 
Some 732 people with special needs, including autistic children and physically, visually, and hearing-impaired persons were among the beneficiaries of the UAE's food aid.
 
The UAE's agency, he noted, distributed the food aid between August and October in collaboration with local committees comprising Imams of mosques and dignitaries.
 
The food packages included sugar, flour, cooking oil and rice.
 
Families with more than five members, and all displaced families, received a full food package.
 
UAE charity donates Dh500,000
 
The Human Appeal International, an Emirati charity, has donated Dh500,000 to the Emirates Red Crescent in support of its 'Yemen: We Care' campaign, launched earlier this year in response to the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan to raise funds to help 10 million people affected by the crisis in Yemen.
 
The donation was handed over to Sultan bin Ghadeer Al Suwaidi, Deputy Chairman of the Emirates Red Crescent's office in Ajman, at the HAI's main office in the presence of Deputy Secretary-General of the HAI, Obaid Al Mathroushi, and Abdullah Al Awadhi, Assistant Secretary-General for Financial Affairs.
 
Al Awadhi noted that the HAI continues to provide relief aid anywhere in response to the directives of the UAE leadership.
 
The HAI, co-operates with the Red Crescent to benefit from its vast experience in humanitarian work and to benefit as many Yemeni people as possible in the donation campaign.
