Prince to help sextuplet pair

A PRINCE in the United Arab Emirates has offered free housing and other aid to the impoverished parents of sextuplets.

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 could not afford to care for the infants.

Dubai's Gulf News reported that the prince had offered housing and medical help for the three boys and three girls born prematurely in October.

The father earns only 350 a month as a taxi driver.
