This campaign, carried out under the "Gallant Knight 3" operation, seeks to offer critical food supplies, medical aid, and other requirements to Palestinians affected by the ongoing situation. Despite the challenges on the ground, the UAE's leadership has reaffirmed its commitment to humanitarian assistance, ensuring that relief reaches those in critical need. These convoys are part of a larger campaign to alleviate suffering in Gaza, where thousands of families are facing shortages of basic commodities.

UAE restarts issuing permit for workers travelling from abroad

-

 The United Arab Emirates has started issuing work permits to those working abroad in the UAE for the first time in seven months. 

Apart from the work permits for those working in government and semi government sectors, permit has also been issued for those looking to join sectors like healthcare, transport and sanitation in the country. Along with them, the families looking for domestic workers can process the permits. 

The announcement was made on Monday by the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship with the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority. 

The work permits for those living in the country was already renewed in the earlier announcement. Assuring work permits for Housemainda has also been included in the guidelines issued by the authorities. 

Issuing work permits will make it easier for people looking to work in the country to get employment and work here. It is essentially a document that gives the access to a foreigner to enter, work and stay in the country legally for a certain period of time. 

Generally, these work permits allow the foreigner to work for two months after which the employer must change the employee’s status to residence visa, which allows them to live in the country for typically two or three years.

The work permit was restricted in March following the coronavirus pandemic. 

As for the virus spread in the country, the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention on Monday reported 932 new cases of the Covid-19 coronavirus along with over a thousand recoveries. 

Despite the rise in cases, the UAE government is being credited for increasing the number of tests which went up to over 88,000 yesterday. 

The National Emergency Crisis Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) had earlier formed seven inspection teams that will crack down the facilities in each of the seven emirates and identify who are those who are not adhering to the instructions of coronavirus tackling and strict action will be taken against them.

The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties.

This has been done through several high-profile exchanges including the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2017 which made these...

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
