The UAE’s Make-A-Wish Foundation has brought moments of joy and comfort to five young cancer patients in Yemen’s Al-Sadaqah Hospital, as it resumed its humanitarian efforts in the country.
Some of the children received smartphones, fulfilling their heartfelt wishes for the latest tech gadgets. The meaningful gesture aimed to uplift spirits and provide emotional strength to children undergoing cancer treatment.
Mr. Hani Al-Zubaidi, CEO of Make-A-Wish Foundation said, "With every wish we fulfil, we plant a new seed of hope in the hearts of children and their families. We have fulfilled 605 wishes in Yemen over the past years, and our return to grant more is a living embodiment of our deep belief that hope is not just a feeling. It is a healing energy that revives spirits and lights the paths of recovery in the darkest moments".
The initiative is part of the UAE’s wider humanitarian outreach, reaffirming its role in providing emotional and material support to vulnerable communities in the region.
