The donation was handed over to Sultan Al-Suwaidi, Deputy Chairman of the ERC's office in Ajman, at the HAI's main office in the presence of Deputy Secretary General of the HAI Obaid Al-Mathroushi and Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Assistant Secretary General for Financial Affairs. Al-Awadhi noted that the HAI will continue to co-operate with ERC to benefit from its vast experience in humanitarian work and to benefit as many Yemeni people as possible in the donation campaign.
