He also expressed his satisfaction at the UAEs work, through the ERC, in Al Mocha, to reconstruct damaged houses and restore its power station, hospital and other services facilities.

He toured the Al Mocha Power Plant, where he listened to a talk by its manager and employees about its accomplishments during recent months, with the generous support of the UAE.

He also stated that the UAE has already provided generous military and humanitarian support, which will remain in the memories of the people of Yemen.

Prime Minister bin Daghr is the first Yemeni official in the countrys legitimate government to visit Al Mocha, following its liberation from the coup militias several months ago.
