The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) has continued to provide relief aid to people affected by the recent earthquake in Indonesia.

Thousands of people in West Java have received food and sheltering materials, in addition to supplies required to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.

The ERC's humanitarian programme is in line with the directives issued by the UAE leadership.

"The ERC initiatives embody the UAE's approach of providing all forms of humanitarian and developmental aid to the various countries of the world," said Dr. Mohammed Ateeq Al Falahi, Secretary-General of the ERC.

He added that His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, is keenly monitoring the operations in Indonesia.
