The ERC delegation recently arrived in Cox’s Bazar to inaugurate several shelter, water and capacity building projects and provide relief aid.
Sheikh Hamdan is closely monitoring the ERC’s relief operations that aim to assist Rohingya refugees, as part of the keenness of the UAE’s leadership to support refugees who fled Myanmar due to the escalation of events in the country.
