(MENAFN- Emirates News Agency (WAM))

HADHRAMAUT, 29th July, 2017 (WAM) -- The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) has distributed food baskets to underprivileged families and people with special needs in the As Sawm District, Wadi Hadhramaut, as part of the UAE's relief programme in Yemen.

Ahmed Al Neyadi, Deputy Head of the ERC team in Hadhramaut, said the delivery of food assistance is part of the UAE's humanitarian efforts to alleviate economic suffering of the Yemeni people caused by the Houthi coup militia.

'The ERC will continue its humanitarian projects to assist those in need in Yemen,' he affirmed.

Yemeni officials thanked the ERC for extending assistance to the needy people in different parts of Yemen and its food, health and development assistance to improve living of the Yemeni people.

Beneficiaries said the food assistance would enhance their resilience to face the difficult circumstance they are experiencing due to the weak economic conditions and lack of sources of income.
