The UAE's 'Make-A-Wish' Foundation has fulfilled the wishes of five children battling cancer in Yemen's Al-Sadaqah Hospital as it resumes its humanitarian initiatives in the country.
Two of the five children were gifted smartphones after they expressed their liking for latest tech devices, national news agency Wam reported.
It's part of efforts by the foundation to bring the children moments of joy while battling cancer.
"With every wish we fulfill, we plant a new seed of hope in the hearts of children and their families," said Hani Al-Zubaidi, CEO of the 'Make-A-Wish' Foundation. "We have fulfilled 605 wishes in Yemen over the past years, and our return to grant more is a living embodiment of our deep belief that hope is not just a feeling - it is a healing energy that revives spirits and lights the paths of recovery in the darkest moments."
