Hadramaut Governor Adel Mohammed Ba-Humaid launched Wednesday (February 4th) a campaign to support cancer patients titled "We Love You", carried out by the Hadramaut Cancer Foundation to mark World Cancer Day (February 4th) and International Childhood Cancer Day (February 15th), Yemen's official news agency Saba reported.
The governor said the local council would give 1 million riyals ($4,650) to cancer patients, urging individual donors, philanthropists and Yemenis in general to help make the campaign a success.
