Lahej: The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) on Saturday distributed 1,000 food baskets — including 1,000 packets of dates — to locals in the Al Houta and Tibn districts in Yemen’s Lahej Province. The move comes as part of the ERC’s ‘Year of Zayed’ initiatives in the area.

Major General Saleh Al Bakri, First Deputy Governor of Lahej, welcomed the ERC team, lauding the organisation’s work in the province over the year, providing services to people and meeting their basic needs.
