The UAE, through its humanitarian arm, the Emirates Red Crescent, ERC, today continued dispatching new food convoys to Arrayda and Qusay'ir districts in Hadramaut Governorate, as part of its humanitarian response programme to ease the suffering of Yemeni families and bringing life back to normalcy.

The ERC distributed 700 food parcels weighing more 56.5 tonnes to 3,500 people who are members of poor and needy families in addition to more than 24.2 tonnes to 1,500 people in Qusay'ir district.
