[Jacaylbaro]

Hargeisa(QARAN)-A humanitarian donation of equipment including vehicles, machinery and food from the United Arab Emirates Red Crescent society recently arrived at the port of Berbera.

 

The donations comes after the President of Somaliland, Mudane Dahir Rayale Kahin's visit to United Arab Emirates (UAE) earlier this year. During his visit to the UAE, President Rayale met with senior officers from the Red Crescent society along with members of the Somaliland community in the United Arab Emirates.

 

The equipment includes water drilling rigs which are designed to drill wells to alleviate the water shortage caused by the recent drought in the country. Speaking at the recent celebration to commemorate the 17th anniversary of Somaliland's reclamation of sovereignty, President Rayale stated that the rigs will be used to drill wells across Somaliland, including a major complex south of Hargeisa, the Somaliland capital.

 

According to reliable sources, these humanitarian donations will be distributed among the areas severely affected by the recent drought which has only abated due to the arrival of the much anticipated rainy season across Somaliland.
