UAE treats 74 injured Yemenis in India
Seventy-four Yemenis were flown to India to receive treatment for their injuries at the expense of the UAE, according to directives of His Highness President Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
The 74 Yemenis were injured in attacks launched by the Iranian-backed Houthi militias.
The UAE Embassy finalized all the necessary
preparations to receive the patients and to transport them to the hospitals in
India where they would have the highest level of treatment in India.
The humanitarian initiative comes within the
framework of the UAE leadership’s attention to the Yemeni people.
The Yemeni patients hailed the UAE’s support
and the humanitarian gesture of the UAE’s leadership and people. They voiced that
Shaikh Khalifa and people of the UAE are no strangers to such acts of generosity.
The UAE has already carried out similar
initiatives. Under the supervision of the Emirates Red Crescent, costs were
paid for the treatment of a total 1,500 injured Yemenis in Jordan, Sudan and
India. All expenses were covered for individuals accompanying the patients.
