Clothes distributed to 5,000 children in Eritrea

Asmara: The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) has distributed clothes to 5,000 Eritrean children in six Eritrean provinces as part of a campaign to clothe one million deprived children.

The initiative was launched by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

The ERC delegation, headed by Ali Bin Shamil Al Kaabi, coordinated with the Red Cross Society of Eritrea (RCSE) and officials of the Social Affairs Department in the capital, Asmara, to choose beneficiaries of the campaign in the areas populated by the most vulnerable. The initiative was welcomed by residents and officials in the provinces covered by the campaign, which is bringing help to thousands of disadvantaged children in Eritrea.
