President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed
Al Nahyan has instructed the formation of a national emergency committee to
provide relief assistance to people affected by flash floods in the Indian
State of Kerala.
According to the President's instructions, the
committee will be chaired by the Emirates Red Crescent, ERC, and include
representatives from the UAE's humanitarian organizations.
The committee will also seek the help of
dignitaries of the Indian resident community.
The south Indian state was hit by the most
massive and worst floods in a century, which killed hundreds of people,
displaced hundreds of thousands of local population and swept away their homes.
President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin
Zayed, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President,
Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al
Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed
Forces, extended their heartfelt condolences to the brotherly Indian people and
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the loss of life over the last few days.
The UAE leaders' instructions stressed the
importance of mobilising national efforts of UAE humanitarian actors to
coordinate emergency relief operations to help the victims of the affected
people in a way that reflects the spirit of the historic friendship that bind
the peoples of the UAE and India and directly supports the Indian government's
efforts to minimise the devastating impact of the floods on the population.
