Emirates Red Crescent delivers more aid to Yemen

WAM

The UAE has sent 16 tonnes of food supplies to the Al Alili camp in Yemen's Al Khokha district.

It's part of the second phase of relief efforts by the UAE's humanitarian organisation this year and is set to benefit 1,200 families.

Earlier this week, a UAE ship carrying 300 tonnes of food supplies docked in the Yemeni port of Mokh.

It's being sent to several districts in Hodeidah including Bayt Al-Faqih, Al Hawak, Ad Durayhimi and Al Tuhayta.

As many as 42,000 people are in desperate need across the province.
