ABU Dhabi-headquartered Lulu Group Chairman Yusuff Ali MA has led the United Arab Emirates (UAE) residents supporting ongoing cyclone relief and recovery efforts in Sri Lanka, following the destruction caused by Cyclone Ditwah.

Ambassador Cooray expressed gratitude for the support, stating: "Yusuff Ali's support towards [cyclone and] flood relief will make a meaningful difference in alleviating the suffering of those affected in Sri Lanka. This contribution stands as a testament to Lulu's commitment to humanitarian causes.
