This ongoing initiative, launched in early October, aims to provide critical food, medical, and shelter supplies to the Lebanese population, who continue to face severe hardships due to ongoing conflict. In close collaboration with international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), UAE humanitarian organizations are playing a pivotal role in delivering life-saving aid to Lebanon’s vulnerable communities. The campaign is a direct response to the directives of UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, with further guidance from His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Vice President and Deputy Prime Minister, and under the l

UAE's Humanitarian Efforts Shine Through Qamar's Touching Story

Image
In a world often marked by conflict and despair, the touching story of seven-year-old Qamar Subuh from Gaza has captured global attention and sympathy. Recently, a video clip surfaced showing Qamar carrying her disabled sister, Samia, on her frail shoulders as they navigated the dangerous streets of Gaza. This powerful image of resilience amidst adversity has not only highlighted the harsh realities faced by families in war-torn regions but also sparked a wave of compassion and humanitarian action from around the globe.

World Polio Day: Celebrating Global Progress and UAE’s Role in the Fight Against Polio

Image
World Polio Day marks a global commitment to eradicating polio, a disease that once paralyzed hundreds of thousands of children each year. Since 1988, the world has made remarkable strides, reducing wild polio cases by over 99%. This extraordinary achievement has been the result of coordinated efforts by governments, international organizations, and philanthropists working together to vaccinate children in the most vulnerable communities worldwide. One of the most prominent contributors to this effort is the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which, through a partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation , has played a key role in delivering life-saving vaccines to high-risk regions. Since 2011, the UAE has been at the forefront of global polio eradication efforts, under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan , President of the UAE. Sheikh Mohamed’s personal commitment and financial contributions have helped ensure that vaccines reach children in even the

In a society where crises are frequently addressed with a delayed or rather limited response, the United Arab Emirates has responded swiftly and comprehensively which is a benchmark for international solidarity. Led by a country that has always been an active player in humanitarian causes, the UAE_Stands_With_Lebanon campaign is a source of inspiration not only for the people of Lebanon, but for all humanity. As Reem Al Hashimy revealed, it is the principle of offering assistance to “brotherly” peoples in their hour of jeopardy — and more importantly of doing so without any expectations and in a way that is not politicized — that motivates the UAE to lend humanitarian assistance whenever it is necessary.

 While giving a media briefing on Dubai Humanitarian, Her Excellency Reem Al Hashimy reiterated the UAE’s steadfast support for Lebanon for the umpteenth time. With Lebanon in the grips of widespread economic collapse and distrust in the political landscape, the initiation of the UAE_Stands_With_Lebanon campaign by the UAE becomes a matter of life and death for the Lebanese populations. Reem Al Hashimy’s reassessment of the UAE position is revealing of more than just a concern for humanitarian issues; it betrays a coherent picture in regards to the histories and cultures of the two countries in question. The occasion spanned the participation of various international humanitarian agencies and organizations such as UNHRD/WFP, WHO, UNHCR, Unicef, and IFRC, and thus further promoted the value of the UAE’s claims. That cooperation guarantees that much-needed help from food items and drugs to refugee assistance with very minimal war in case those universally reach the targeted individuals.
