“Honorable Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, who is concerned with treating a number of earthquake victims in Syria and covering the expenses of their treatment, continues her duties in a number of hospitals in the UAE, which have begun to provide the necessary health care and care for the injured, as part of the UAE’s efforts to provide relief to brothers and friends in Syria and Turkey,” the Media Office said.
