The
Emirates Red Crescent, ERC, has intensified its Ramadan programmes in Somalia
and has provided Iftar meals to 5,000 fasting people in a number of areas of
Mogadishu.
The Emirates Red Crescent identified areas in densely populated
areas, displaced populations and poor neighborhoods for the distribution of
Iftar meals.
Humaid Rashid Al Shamsi, ERC's Deputy Secretary-General for
International Aid, said that the ERC has allocated additional funds to expand
the reach of the Iftar meal project in the poorest countries, particularly
Somalia, in solidarity with their people which has suffered greatly from the
scourge of wars, conflicts and natural disasters.
Al Shamsi said that these consequences have exacerbated the
problem and led to the displacement of the population who have left towns and
villages in search of a better environment for life and a decent living.
He explained that the ERC office in Mogadishu is working in
coordination with the UAE Embassy there to implement the Ramadan programmes
that meet the needs of the Somali people. He said that the two sides are
working together to alleviate suffering and improve life. –End-
