ERC distributes Eid clothing to orphans in Latakia

WAM

Three hundred orphans in the Governorate of Latakia in Syria have received Eid clothing from the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC).

The gesture by the UAE charity aimed to spread some happiness and help the children prepare before the start of Eid Al Fitr.

The initiative reflects the UAE's continued humanitarian efforts in the area as part of a broader campaign to help alleviate the suffering of families affected by last February's earthquake.
