The Emirates is developing the annual Eid charity programme on the Yemeni Red Sea coast

The United Arab Emirates (UAE), through its intervention through the Emirati Red Crescent (ERC), is implementing its annual charity project Eid for the disadvantaged in the Taiz Governorate of Yemen.

The initiative is part of a series of programmes to assist the Yemeni population in all segments of society.

The ERC team distributed Eid clothing to 400 families in several villages in the Mocha district on the Red Sea coast to help them enjoy the Eid al-Adha holiday.

ERC and humanitarian aid staff, as well as several local officials, attended the distribution process. Meanwhile, the beneficiaries thanked the UAE for its humanitarian gesture that brings assistance and joy to Yemenis. 

ERC also sent a convoy of aid to the remote village of Swadiyah in Al-Wazi'iyah district and other areas with 50 tons of basic foodstuffs, distributed in 500 packages to 500 families, as reported by the Emirati news agency WAM.

This supply is part of UAE's ongoing assistance to support Yemenis in remote rural areas on the Red Sea coast. The beneficiaries also appreciated the efforts of the ERC teams to reach their villages and provide the aid.

This cooperation from the Gulf country in Yemen is of vital importance in light of the difficulties the Yemeni nation is going through as it is plunged into a bloody civil war unleashed by Shiite Hutu insurgents who are trying to undermine the internationally recognized government of Abd Rabbuh Mansur al-Hadi, which receives military support from the Arab alliance led by neighbouring Saudi Arabia, of which the UAE is also a member. A country, the Yemeni, which is going through what the United Nations (UN) defined as the worst humanitarian catastrophe in the world.
