A total of 130 members from the UAE Search and Rescue Team took part as of Monday morning,  in a search operation to trace the young Emirati national (Hassan Rashid Al-Shemaili). The young man was reported missing on Sunday evening, after he presumably drowned in the waters of Hakil Valley in Ras al Khaimah. The team members offered their profound condolences to the bereaved family in the graveyard located in Alshamel, Al Khaimah.

The team had been dispatched in the early hours of Monday morning (around 2:00 a.m.) to Ras Al Khaimah, following the instructions of Lt. General HH Sheikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, with a view to assist Ras Al Khaimah Police in their efforts to locate the body of the missing Emirati man.

Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed Abdul Jalil Al Ansari, Head of the UAE Search and Rescue Team expressed his profound sorrow and sympathy to the bereaved family, praying Allah Almighty to rest the deceased in eternal peace, and to inspire his family patience and solace.

"As per the directives of Lt. General HH Sheikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a team comprising 130 members was immediately formed to conduct a search and rescue operation to find the missing young man,” Lieutenant Colonel Al Ansari stated.

He added that the team included a number of land and sea rescuers, with back-up from the Security Inspection Department’s police sniffer dogs, the SAR wireless aircraft,  the mobile operations room, a field hospital, two ambulances, a team of damage assessment engineers, as well as other logistic services.

"The police leadership spares no effort to provide assistance to people affected by crises and disasters, out of its firm belief in the need to provide assistance to people in distress who may be in urgent need for search and rescue operations,” he added.
