ABU DHABI // About 1,000 schoolchildren in Yemen’s Mukalla district will receive educational materials through an Emirates Red Crescent initiative.

The Red Crescent started to distribute school supplies to pupils this week, reported Wam, the state news agency.

The aim is to help underprivileged families affected by adverse conditions in the country and to encourage pupils to continue their education.
