Shabwa: The Emirates Red Crescent, ERC, has rescued the residents of Beihan District in the Shabwa Governorate, by dispatching an urgent food aid convoy to assist the needy and help those displaced — as a result of the three-year war and siege started by the Al Houthi militias — to return to their homes.
Mohammad Saif Al Muhairi, Head of the ERC Team in Shabwa, praised the strength of Beihan’s residents during the siege, adding that the ERC considers the district among its humanitarian intervention priorities.
He went on to say that their urgent intervention was in a response to the needs of residents and a continuation of the UAE’s humanitarian, rescue and development efforts in Yemen.
Ahmad Saleh Al Taheri, Director-General of Beihan District, expressed his satisfaction with the ERC’s gesture that included dispatching a convoy containing 6,000 food baskets. He also thanked the UAE government and its people for the country’s humanitarian role in Yemen.
The residents thanked the ERC for its rapid and urgent intervention, which coincided with the district’s liberation from Al Houthis.
