According to a tweet by Dubai Media Office, HH Sheikh Mohammed issued a directive to deliver a much needed humanitarian assistance to those affected by the tropical storm in Mozambique

The first airlift consisted of a 97-metric-tonne shipment of humanitarian aid sent by members of Dubai’s International Humanitarian City (IHC), which arrived at Maputo International Airport on Wednesday.

The relief items, which came from stocks maintained at the IHC in Dubai, included medicine, telecommunications equipment, tents, and shelter toolkits.

The airlift comes after the UAE donated AED18.3 million in emergency aid to those affected by the devastating cyclone.
