DUBAI (AlArabiya.net)
The crown prince of the UAE emirate of Ajman has offered accommodation, financial and medical support for the impoverished parents of new born sextuplets, who are three boys and three girls.
The pledge by Sheik Ammar Bin Humaid Al Nuaimi from the Ajman emirate is part of an outpouring of support for the Egyptian couple living in Abu Dhabi after they said they cannot afford to care for the infants.
Dubai's Gulf News reports Thursday that the Ajman crown prince has offered housing and medical help for the three boys (Mohammad, Ahmad, Khalifa) and three girls (Israa, Sara, Donia) born prematurely in October. Ajman is one of the seven emirates in the UAE.
Egyptian couple Sayed Mohammad and Soraya Foully also received 15,000 diapers from a diaper manufacturing company, Gulf news reported. In addition, UAE's national health insurance company (Daman) said it contacted the family to offer health insurance coverage.
A UAE bank that wished not to be named has reportedly also offered financial support for the family.
The family's plight was featured in local media this week after the father said his monthly income of about $550 as a taxi driver was not enough to care for the children.
