The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) continues to implement its humanitarian and relief projects in Hadhramaut Governorate during Ramadan by providing support to families and promoting values of cooperation and solidarity within the community.

This is part of the ERC’s ongoing efforts to support the most vulnerable groups and enhance food security during the holy month. Thus far the ERC team distributed 3,130 food baskets out of a total of 8,000 Ramadan food aid baskets during the first half of Ramadan, benefiting 40,000 individuals across various areas in Hadhramaut.

Supporting fasting individuals has also been a significant part of these efforts, with 11,778 Iftar meals distributed out of a planned 20,000 meals, along with 5,857 pre-Iftar snack meals out of 9,548 meals across various areas in Hadhramaut.

The meals were distributed through 26 designated sites. Advisor for Development and International Cooperation and the ERC's representative in the governorate, Hamid Rashid Al Shamsi, emphasised that the projects implemented by the ERC during Ramadan include food basket distributions and Iftar meals for fasting individuals, ensuring that assistance reaches the most vulnerable families.

He highlighted the importance of fostering social solidarity by involving the local community in these initiatives and expressed his gratitude to everyone who contributed to supporting these projects in the UAE.
