AMDJARASS, Chad, 30th October, 2023 (WAM) -- The UAE humanitarian team has inaugurated the second well in the Chadian city of Amdjarass as part of their humanitarian project to dig several underground wells and provide clean drinking water for the residents.

The inauguration was attended by representatives of the Emirati humanitarian team, which includes the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC), the Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation, the Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation, and the Office for the Coordination of Foreign Aid.

The team has completed all drilling and equipment preparations, providing the well with pumps and generators.
