RCA sends tenth aid convoy to Syrian refugees

The latest assistance will boost these camps’ capacities in areas of shelter, food and other basic services, it said.

A Red Crescent Authority (RCA) aid convoy left Abu Dhabi for Jordanian capital of Amman as part of the UAE’s massive relief programme to improve the living conditions of Syrian refugees in Jordan and alleviate their suffering.

The RCA said the tenth convoy carries the 18th consignment of in-kind assistance, including sheltering material and food for children and others, which will be distributed to Syrian refugees at the Zaatari Refugee Camp and UAE-Jordan Camp at Mreejab Al Fohood.

The latest assistance will boost these camps’ capacities in areas of shelter, food and other basic services, it said.

The authority has so far transported and airlifted 3,584 tonnes of in-kind assistance to Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon. The Syrian refugees in Jordan took the lion’s share of these assistance — at 3,199 tonnes.

The RCA affirmed that it is 
mobilising all its resources to respond to the unfolding humanitarian situation of the Syrian 
refugees on the ground and its 
is striving to reach out to the 
largest possible number of 
people.
