he UAE supported Yemen with a total of $6.6 billion in aid since 2015.
As well as a $300 million deposit to bolster the local currency.
In addition to multilateral peace and development efforts in Yemen.
Moreover, the UAE supported Yemen recently with the following projects;
Solar power generation project:
This is the first project of its kind in the republic, with the support of the United Arab Emirates.
The project reduces $100 millions of electricity consumption per month which was consumed by Aden alone.
Also, this project is expected to finish within this month.
Abu Dhabi Fund for Development is carrying out this project.
Moreover, this project includes the construction of a 120 megawatt solar power plant per hour.
As well as the construction of transmission lines and substations to transmit and distribute the power generated by the plant later.
More projects by the UAE in Yemen:

-Dam will create a qualitative agricultural shift.
-The collection area for Hassan Dam is 3,200 square kilometers.
