The Emirates Red Crescent, ERC, provided humanitarian assistance to the citizens of brotherly and friendly countries who are affected by the current health situation in the UAE.
The assistance packages which included food parcels, were provided in line with the directives of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in Al Dhafra Region and Chairman of the ERC, following requests by some embassies to assist their citizens affected by the spread of COVID-19 pandemic.

They reflect the care given by the UAE to meeting the needs of residents during these challenging times,” said Dr. Mohammed Atiq Al Falahi, ERC Secretary General.
