UAE-funded water wells to serve 250,000 people in Somalia

The Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation has launched a project for the extraction of water and construction of the longest pipeline to provide water to the population in the Hargeisa region of Somalia.

The project began by digging 13 wells to extract water and building giant reservoirs to collect it, Wam, the state news agency said on Monday.

The length of the pipeline is 52 kilometres with a capacity of more than 1 million gallons per day.

An official source at foundation said the project aims to alleviate the suffering of Somalians and to improve humanitarian conditions.

The project is under the directives of President Sheikh Khalifa and the follow-up of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces.

Labour dispute

The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.
