The United Arab Emirates continues to provide assistance to parts of Yemen in recent months to improve living standards and help the country mitigate a variety of challenges.

The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) opened recently a school in the Hadhramaut governorate on Saturday. It also launched a project to provide school bags governorates of Al Hudaydah and Taiz.

The Emirates this month delivered food and shelter to hundreds of families bearing the brunt of floods that swept across Yemen in recent weeks.

Torrential rain and high winds have left a trail of destruction on the country's west coast, causing widespread damage to homes and displacing thousands of residents.

The ERC sent shelter tents, food supplies and other relief items to help 960 families in flood-hit areas of Yemen under the campaign.

In July, the Emirates joined forces with the World Health Organisation (WHO) to lead a campaign to reduce the number of deaths caused by malnutrition on the Yemeni island of Socotra.

Field teams from the UAE and the WHO carried out assessments in the first phase of a drive to cutting malnutrition death rates by up to 20 per cent within the next two to five years.

The UAE, according to Emirates news agency Wam, provided $110 million in humanitarian aid to the people of Socotra from 2015 to 2021, offering assistance to its communities and helping to lay foundations for the future.
