ABU DHABI, March 10, 2020 / WAM / The “e& Group” announced that it has sent communications equipment worth 20 million dirhams as a humanitarian initiative to the telecommunications sector in Turkey to contribute to rebuilding the sector’s infrastructure in the earthquake-affected areas.
This step comes as a continuation of a previous initiative launched by the e& group to confirm the group’s keenness to participate in the operation “The Gallant Knight 2”, which His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the State, “may God protect him”, directed to start it last month to support the Turkish and Syrian peoples, following the aftermath of the earthquakes. It is also an extension of the “Bridges of Good” campaign aimed at supporting relief efforts.
The communications equipment that will be sent includes more than 4,000 radio and digital units to re-operate the affected mobile phone network stations, which supports the infrastructure of the telecommunications sector in the friendly Republic of Turkey and helps the return of services affected by this crisis.
His Excellency Jassim Mohammed Buataba Al Zaabi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of e& – on this occasion – said: “The e& group always follows the honorable stances of the wise leadership in the UAE, which inspires us to take the initiative towards giving and providing support to individuals and societies, as our clear vision and strategy prompts us to develop an approach to institutional and social giving It is at the core of our priorities to contribute to leaving a positive impact on the lives of individuals and societies in general, and in situations of crises and disasters in particular.”
