RETAIL giant LuLu Group yesterday donated an array of products to the Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC) in Cairo to provide much-needed relief and support for the people of Gaza.
The first batch of aid, consisting of 50 tonnes of food products and other essentials such as medicines and hygiene items, was handed over to ERC’s chief executive Dr Rami El Nasser by LuLu Egypt and Bahrain director Juzer Rupawala, regional director Husefa Qureshi and LuLu Egypt’s marketing manager Hatim Sayeed.
ERC will deliver the items in Arish town through the Al Rafah border.
Dr El Nasser expressed his gratitude to LuLu Group and its chairman Yusuffali M A for supporting the Palestinian people.
LuLu, also a key partner of the UAE’s ‘Tarahum for Gaza’ relief campaign, has set up aid centres at various hypermarkets to collect and send materials in association with Emirates Red Crescent.
The group has been closely working with humanitarian agencies in other Gulf countries on similar initiatives.
LuLu Bahrain had donated BD25,000 to the Royal Humanitarian Foundation as part of the Bahrain National Campaign for Supporting the Palestinians in Gaza.
