ABU DHABI 12 July 2019: The UAE is spending Dh10 million to build new houses and a children and maternity centre in the Indian state of Kerala.
The reconstruction projects are being undertaken by the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) on behalf of the UAE following severe floods that hit the state last year.
Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in Al Dhafra Region, and ERC Chairman, was yesterday updated by a UAE field aid team on progress being made in reconstruction projects, said Wam.
Sheikh Hamdan called Fahad bin Abdul Rahman bin Sultan, Deputy ERC Secretary General for International Development and Cooperation, and head of the ERC team, who briefed him about the ongoing reconstruction efforts and the coordination being made with the UAE Consulate in Kerala and the Government of Kerala.
”The UAE will spare no effort in delivering humanitarian assistance and services to countries struck by natural crises and disasters so as to alleviate the suffering of affected people,” Sheikh Hamdan underscored.
