The Yemeni Vice-President expressed his heartfelt condolences to the martyrs' families, praying to the Almighty Allah to grant their soul rest in Paradise and bestow patience and solace upon their families.

'The martyrs made their homeland, families, Arab identity and humanity proud of them for the sacrifices they made to support their fellows in Yemen,' he said. He also valued the strong, honourable and historic stance of the UAE in support of Yemen in its current crisis and paid a glowing tribute to President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, for the tremendous and continuous support the UAE is extending to the legitimate government and the people in Yemen during the crisis.

Bahah also hailed the UAE's active role in the 'Operation Decisive Storm' and 'Operation Restore Hope' for supporting the legitimate government in Yemen as well as its humanitarian assistance to the Yemeni people at this critical time.
