Nine hundred food packages donated by the Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation were distributed to orphanages, mosques and families and victims of the civil war in Sierra Leone.
The UAE Embassy in Senegal, in co-ordination with the General Secretariat for Religious Affairs in Freetown, oversaw the distribution. Each package contained a two-month supply of food.
Recipients and Sierra Leone officials thanked the Khalifa Foundation and the UAE Government for the humanitarian gesture.
