The Armed Forces' mobile hospital has rescued the life of a Yemeni boy who suffered serious shrapnel wounds when a landmine exploded near his house in the Mocha District.
Khalil Yasin Ahmed stepped on the landmine while playing with his brothers near the family house in the Raiwais village on the Red Sea Coast.
The wounded child was taken to the Mocha hospital after receiving first aid and was then referred to the Armed Forces' mobile hospital where he underwent a surgery that took more than two hours. He was then airlifted to the UAE to complete his treatment and psychological rehabilitation.
The family of the injured boy praised the UAE's humanitarian stance. The family members said, "We will not forget the Emirati support." They also extended thanks and appreciation to the President, Sheikh Khalifa.
The Armed Forces, operating within the Saudi-led Arab coalition forces in Yemen, play a major role in clearing areas of the Red Sea Coast from mines to protect the lives of the Yemeni people.

Here are a couple of Valentine’s Day food products that may or may not go the distance (but have got the internet talking anyway).
Sourdough sentiments: Marks & Spencer in the United Kingdom has introduced a slow-baked sourdough loaf dusted with flour to spell out I (heart) you, at £2 (Dh9.5). While it’s not available in the UAE, there’s nothing to stop you taking the idea and creating your own message of love, stencilled on breakfast-inbed toast.
Crisps playing cupid: Crisp company Tyrells has added a spicy addition to its range for Valentine’s Day. The brand describes the new honey and chilli flavour on Twitter as: “A tenderly bracing duo of the tantalising tingle of chilli with sweet and sticky honey. A helping hand to get your heart racing.” Again, not on sale here, but if you’re tempted you could certainly fashion your own flavour mix (spicy Cheetos and caramel popcorn, anyone?).
