Members of the Emirates Red Crescent on Sunday joined Syrian refugees for iftar at the Mrajeeb Al Fhood camp in Jordan.

Hassan Al Qaidi, head of the Emirati Relief Team, and deputy commander Yousef Al Harmoudi led the volunteer group as they broke their fast in the camp.

The team has been involved in charitable causes in Jordan throughout Ramadan.

Mr Al Qaidi expressed his gratitude to all who have sent donations to the ERC.

The refugee camp opened in 2013 and is funded by the UAE. Mrajeeb Al Fhood is about 40km from the Jordanian-Syrian border and provides shelter to those who fled the civil war in Syria.

The ERC this month launched a Dh37.6 million ($10.2 million) Ramadan campaign to support families in need in the UAE and around the world.

How to wear a kandura

Don’ts 

  • Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal

Pharaoh's curse

British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.
