Sharjah 24 – WAM: As part of the UAE’s ongoing humanitarian approach to supporting Syrian refugees, the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC), the UAE's humanitarian arm, has launched its annual Ramadan initiative by distributing Ramadan food aid (Meer Ramadan) to Syrian refugees in the UAE-Jordanian camp in Mrajeeb Al Fhood.

Support for underprivileged families

Additionally, the ERC has provided food aid to several charity organizations accredited by the Jordanian Ministry of Social Development, aimed at benefiting registered underprivileged families. The relief team also delivered Ramadan food packages to needy families living in informal tents near the camp.

Distribution oversight and commitment

The distribution was overseen by Abdulmohsen Abdurrahim Al Hosani, Deputy Director of the UAE Relief Team, along with other team members. Al Hosani emphasized the UAE Relief Team's commitment to providing humanitarian and relief support to Syrian refugees and underprivileged families in Jordan through local charity organizations.

Aid reaches 1,200 families

Around 1,200 families residing in the camp received Ramadan food packages, with the aid adjusted according to each family's size. The camp administration ensures that the food aid packages contain essential food supplies to meet the daily needs of the beneficiaries throughout the holy month.
