UAE: 50,000 food parcels provided to people affected by heavy rains – Gulf Digital News

DUBAI: The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) announced its support for people, especially workers, affected by heavy rains, that hit the Eastern Region last week, by providing 50,000 food parcels and 10,000 ration cards.

MBRGI, in collaboration with the UAE Food Bank and the Fujairah Charity Association, is directly supporting families and individuals affected by the repercussions of the heavy rains in the Eastern Region, most notably in Fujairah.

The initiative aims to provide relief aid by distributing 10,000 ration cards that allow their holders to purchase basic supplies, in addition to providing food parcels to beneficiaries.

The urgent aid initiative complements the volunteering initiatives and social support available in the UAE, with the aim of supporting those affected by harsh weather conditions recently witnessed in several areas of the country.
