HODEIDAH / WAM

The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC), has sent an urgent relief convoy to the Tuhaita District and other liberated areas of the historic Zubid city in the governorate of Hodeidah as part of the UAE’s emergency relief response to the humanitarian situation in the Red Sea Coast liberated areas.
The ERC said the urgent food assistance includes food baskets and other essentials that cover the basic needs of Yemeni families in these liberated areas.
Saeed Al Kaabi, UAE Humanitarian Operations Director for Yemen, said the relief convoy came as part of the UAE’s continuing humanitarian and relief strategy to support the liberated districts so as to help the Yemeni people overcome the dire economic conditions, caused by the terrorist practices by the Iran-aligned Houthi militia.
“The UAE through its humanitarian arm, the ERC is supporting the liberation operations of districts and cities in the governorate of Hodeidah by providing more humanitarian and food assistance and implementing several development and service projects to improve the living conditions of the Yemeni people,” he said.
