The Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation, KF, has provided relief aid to areas affected by the recent earthquake and floods that swept Tajikistan.
The gesture is in implementation to the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
The foundation has sent aid convoy comprising 95 trucks from the capital of Tajikistan to the Badakhshan Province to the west of Dushanbe. The aid convoy carries hundreds of tonnes of construction material, heavy equipment and various relief materials.
An official source at KF said that the first stage of the aid programme to Tajikistan meets the needs of beneficiaries in the disaster-affected areas in coordination with the Committee for Emergency Situations and Civil Defence of Tajikistan, CES.
The source added that about 200 tonnes of emergency relief materials and basic requirements supplies were purchased from the local market to be transported by land to the affected areas.
It also re-affirmed that the humanitarian missions and meeting the needs of field work translate the UAE's keenness on providing aid to affected people and victims of natural catastrophes across the world and to provide assistance to fraternal and friendly peoples.
