(MENAFN- Emirates News Agency (WAM))
SHABWA, 3rd December, 2016 (WAM) -- The Emirates Red Crescent on Saturday launched a new humanitarian effort in Yemen to distribute food packages to citizens in Yemen's southern Shabwa province as part of its efforts to improve humanitarian conditions exacerbated by the war being waged by the rebels.
The initiative stems from the UAE's keen interest in helping the Yemeni brothers to overcome the crisis caused by the war, the humanitarian agency said.
It is the latest in a series of humanitarian initiatives in Yemen and seeks to address shortage of food in the province where citizens are already financially strapped, said Abdullah Al Musaferi, Representative of the Emirates Red Crescent.
