During the meeting, Sheikh Humaid also learnt about the ERC’s plan, humanitarian programmes and activities aimed at supporting various social sectors both inside and outside the UAE and in refugee camps.
The Ruler of Ajman commended the UAE leadership’s contributions to supporting humanitarian organisations and its keenness to help the needy locally and internationally, most notably the Yemeni people, Syrian refugees and everyone in need in Arab, Muslim, and other countries.
He also lauded the monitoring of H.H.
