UAE boosts humanitarian efforts for Gazans during Ramadan as fighting rages on

 

The International Humanitarian and Philanthropic Council has decided to intensify relief supplies for Palestinian people in Gaza during the holy month of Ramadan. The UAE has launched a series of Ramadan aid initiatives, including the ‘Gallant Knight 3’ operation, which has provided 21,000 tonnes of food, health aid, and shelter materials to the Gaza Strip. The ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict has led to a death toll in Gaza exceeding 31,500.

The UAE has also launched the ‘Tarahum — for Gaza’ campaign, with over 24,000 volunteers helping to assemble 71,000 relief baskets from locally sourced materials. The UAE-Egyptian partnership has also been instrumental in delivering aid, with Operation ‘Birds of Goodness’ delivering 293 tonnes of aid via Emirati and Egyptian aircraft.

The UAE has established two field hospitals in Gaza: the Emirati Field Hospital in Gaza, housing 200 beds and staffed by over 100 medical professionals, and the UAE Floating Hospital, anchored at the port of Al Arish. The UAE has also implemented a healthcare initiative aimed at treating 1,000 Palestinian children and 1,000 Palestinian cancer patients in UAE hospitals.

In addition to providing relief supplies, the UAE has established six water desalination plants, generating 1.2 million gallons of potable water daily, and five automated bakeries to meet the daily needs of tens of thousands of people in the besieged enclave.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...
