ABU DHABI // A campaign has been launched to allow the families of fallen servicemen and those injured in duty to perform Haj pilgrimage this year.
The We Will not Forget Your Sacrifices campaign by the Martyrs’ Families’ Affairs Office aims to recognise the sacrifices Emiratis made during the Saudi-led coalition’s Operation Restoring Hope in Yemen.
A spokesman for the office said the dead and injured soldiers had “sacrificed the most precious things to defend the country and preserve security and stability of the region”. The state news agency Wam reported that the office would also be announcing other programmes to support the servicemen and their families.
