Emirates Red Crescent launched its annual winter campaign to provide food, health care and shelter for 500,000 people in 31 countries around the world.

The campaign, launched under the slogan 'Be Their Warmth', will allocate additional humanitarian aid to refugees and displaced people in several countries.

Fahad Abdulrahman bin Sultan, ERC deputy secretary general for development and international co-operation, said this year’s campaign would be extra important given the many humanitarian crises affecting the world.
