The first convoy of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum Humanitarian and Charity Establishment on Thursday began to provide winter aid to remote and the poorest villages across Egyptian governorates.

The Establishment will distribute blankets in Sohag and Assiut Governorates. In future stages, the winter aid will reach other governorates such as Luxor, Qina, Aswan, in north Upper Egypt and other Nile Delta governorates.

Saleh Zaher, Director of the Establishment, said that the philanthropic organisation is working hard to provide state-of-the-art services to those remote areas across Egypt.
