"The UAE was in the forefront of countries who hurried to send relief and assist Yemen to ride over the current crisis, support its stability and unity, and stand with its people by providing all forms of assistance needed to realize and fulfill the aspirations of Yemeni people for building, development and stability," Reem Al Hashimy said, according to The National .

The UAE was part of the Saudi-led coalition of Arab states, supported by the United States and the United Kingdom, that carried out a series of airstrikes in Yemen from March 2015 until June 2016, targeting the Houthi insurgency against the Yemeni government.
