Hadramout: Up to 1,400 people from Al Fujair area in Trim district, Hadramout, benefited from urgent relief aid distributed by the Emirates Red Crescent, ERC, as part of the UAE surge plan to ease the suffering of the Yemeni people.

The UAE’s premier humanitarian aid provider distributed the aid among the eligible households in the district who have expressed their gratitude to the assistance, which, they said, contributes to assuaging their suffering under the straightened circumstances they are going through.

Mohammad Obaid Al Shamsi, ERC representative in Hadramout, said the aid comes in continuation of the UAE campaigns across the remote areas that lack basic requirements for life.

The food assistance funnelled out since the beginning of the Year of Zayed — 2018 across the Hadramout area targeted 10,000 households and more than 50,000 locals.
