The United Arab Emirates has evacuated Arab nationals from China’s Wuhan to provide them with medical care at the newly established Emirates Humanitarian City.
This comes following the directives of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, to build a healthcare facility that would accept individuals from neighbouring Arab countries for preventative monitoring and medical care after their evacuation from China’s Wuhan city, the epicentre of the COVID-19 outbreak.
