The United Arab Emirates continues to send aid convoys carrying all essential items, including medical supplies, to the Yemeni governorate of Dhale through the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC).
An ERC volunteer team oversaw the distribution of the relief convoys in the presence of Major General Ali Muqbel, Governor of Dhale, who appreciated the UAE’s continuous support to the governorate in various sectors. He also emphasised that the ERC was a pioneer in providing assistance to Al Nasr hospital, which is the only medical centre in the area, receiving patients from across the governorate.
The beneficiaries include families of martyrs, displaced persons, and affected people from various parts of the governorate of Dhale.
The UAE has provided Hais General Hospital in Yemen’s Red Sea Coast with a major shipment of medicines and medical supplies, to treat patients suffering from cholera and malaria in the city of Hais and neighbouring areas.
Dr Wael Hamna, Director of Hais General Hospital, stated that the UAE helped to rescue local residents from the cholera epidemic by providing timely treatment, adding that the UAE’s humanitarian support will enable the hospital to prevent the spread of cholera and other diseases.
