The aid will be delivered through the Emirates Red Crescent Authority (ERC) and will include food, shelter materials, medicines, medical equipment and support for water, sanitation and hygiene services.
The first phase of the programme will focus on urgent food, shelter, health, water and sanitation needs, with assistance prioritised for internally displaced people and other vulnerable groups.
The ERC will work with UAE missions abroad, international organisations and humanitarian partners to identify areas of greatest need and deliver the assistance.

According to the latest international data cited by the ERC, more than one million people are internally displaced, around half of them children, while millions are facing food insecurity and require humanitarian assistance.
