(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Two ambulances and two buses to transport Syrian refugees across the Syrian-Jordanian border to the Za'atari refugee camp on Thursday were donated by UAE's Red Crescent to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM)
xThe donation was delivered by RCA's Secretary General Ateeq Al-Falahi to IOM Jordan Chief of Mission Davide Terzi during a visit by representatives of international relief organisations to the UAE-Jordanian field hospital, deployed at the refugee camp north of Jordan near the border with Syria to help Syrians displaced from their country.
Six other ambulance vehicles will be delivered to the international organisation within days.
As many as 70,000 blankets, 1000 stoves, 20,000 tons of palm dates and a large quantity of medicines were given out to refugees through the UAE-Jordanian field hospital since the launch last February of RCA's fund raising campaign "They Called for Help - We Responded" which raised Dh45 million for Syrian refugees, according to Al-Falahi.
One hundred prefabricated homes were delivered by the UAE's humanitarian major to Za'atari refugee camp to accommodate Syrian refugees, the RCA official said adding that assistance by RCA's Jordan operation reached 20,000 Syrian families and 10,000 people were treated at the field hospital.
Representatives of the international agencies hailed the UAE's humanitarian initiatives to help the refugees whose humanitarian conditions were described by Terzi as 'tragic'.
