Earlier on Wednesday, the UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, has ordered the provision of an additional $50 million as relief aid for quake-affected people in Syria, with US$20 million of the sum to be allocated to implement humanitarian projects in response to the emergency appeal of the United Nations (UN) regarding Syria.
The project will be carried out in coordination with the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA).
