Emirates Red Crescent to donate Eid sacrificial meat in Yemen

The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) announced it will provide sacrificial meat for underprivileged families in Yemen's Hadhramaut Governorate under its Eid al-Adha initiative. 

The initiative is in coordination with a "leading commercial company" in Al Mukalla, the governorate's capital, and aims to ease financial burdens to families during the religious occasion. 

During the signing ceremony, Hamid Rashid Al Shamsi, Advisor for Development and International Cooperation and ERC Representative in Hadramaut Governorate, reiterated the authority’s commitment to ensuring the success of the project.

He explained that the initiative aims to strengthen the bonds of social solidarity. He stressed that it will bring relief and happiness to hundreds of families, embodying the UAE’s long-standing tradition of compassion and giving, particularly during Eid al-Adha.

ERC teams will distribute the sacrificial meat across Hadhramaut’s districts, giving priority to families facing hardships- including orphans, those with limited income, and people of determination.

The initiative forms part of the ERC’s ongoing humanitarian and relief efforts in the governorate, aimed at improving living conditions and reinforcing the values of giving and solidarity within the community.
