Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler's Representative in Al Dhafra Region, Chairman of the Emirates Red Crescent.

Dr Mohamed Ateeq Al Falahi, the Secretary General of the ERC, said the ERC started delivering the Ramadan food assistance to their beneficiaries at their residences in targeted Yemeni governorates ahead of the advent of Ramadan.
