“We are donating the PPEs as a token of our appreciation for the sacrifices made by Dubai’s finest,” he added.

Jacob Matthew, Alan White, vice-president of NAC, retd major general Mahesh Senanayake and Youssef Beydoun presented the truckload of safety personal protection equipment to major general Abdullah Hussain Ali Khan, brigadier Abdulla Al Raeisi and major Mansour Al Mulla at the Dubai Police Headquarters.
