The UAE's continued support for drought-affected people in Somalia

 The UAE, through the Emirates Red Crescent Authority, provides urgent humanitarian aid to the Somali people affected by drought, and sends many planes and ships full of aid, supplies and essentials to feed the Somali people.

The aid program includes operating an air bridge to reduce the repercussions of the drought disaster, and transporting tens of tons of supplies and relief materials to those affected, as its first planes arrived in the capital, Mogadishu.

 The authority will also operate an aid ship at a later time to support its efforts in this regard and alleviate the suffering of the Somali brothers, and the authority’s program includes providing water through tankers and tankers for the displaced due to drought in their current areas of presence, as well as digging more water wells in areas and regions that suffer from severe scarcity in water supplies.
