ERC distributes sacrificial meat to earthquake-affected Syrians

Victims of the Syrian earthquake have benefitted from the latest humanitarian initiative by Operation Gallant Knight 2, on the occasion of Eid Al Adha.

The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) distributed meat across four Syrian governorates under the Adahi initiative.

Mohammed Khamis Al Kaabi, Head of the ERC delegation in Syria, said that the aid distribution included 500 pieces of sacrificial meat in Aleppo, 500 in Latakia, 500 in Homs and 500 in Hama.

The humanitarian initiative took place in cooperation with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, and as part of the UAE's continuous humanitarian and relief efforts following February's earthquake.

Operation Gallant Knight 2 is aimed at supporting Syrians under the guidance of the UAE's leadership.

As part of the operation, 186 aircraft and four ships with essential food supplies, medicines and medical equipment were dispatched to support the recovery phase of the Syrian people.
