UN hails UAE aid to Sudan amid rising humanitarian crisis: key details inside


The UAE is a leading contributor of humanitarian aid to Sudan. Recently, the nation allocated 70% of the $100 million pledged earlier this year at the “International Humanitarian Conference for Sudan and Neighbouring Countries.”

The Gulf state announced a $70 million allocation to UN agencies and humanitarian organizations to support efforts in alleviating the worsening humanitarian crisis in Sudan. The civil war in Sudan has been ongoing since April 15, 2023.

In a statement, the Emirati foreign ministry emphasized that the aid aims to prevent further deterioration of the humanitarian situation and the imminent risk of famine in Sudan. This allocation is part of a comprehensive strategy that includes a full range of assistance.

**UAE’s Support for Sudan**
HE Reem bint Ebrahim Al Hashimy, UAE’s Minister of State for International Cooperation, highlighted that her country established an air bridge at the beginning of the Sudan crisis to provide support and relief supplies to the Sudanese people.

The UAE has already provided $130 million in humanitarian aid and 9,500 tonnes of food and medical supplies through 148 relief planes. Additionally, it dispatched a ship carrying roughly 1,000 tonnes of urgent relief supplies for those in need.

Her Excellency added that the aid provided to Sudan and its neighboring countries underscores the UAE’s commitment to assisting the Sudanese people and addressing humanitarian challenges.

**UAE’s Call for Peace**
Besides supplying humanitarian aid, the UAE has been supporting refugee camps for displaced Sudanese people in various regions of Chad. It has also built field hospitals in two Chadian cities to support tens of thousands in need.

The UAE has been advocating for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Sudan and stresses the need for a peaceful solution by returning to the political process. The nation has called for joint efforts and collaboration to end the crisis.

UN relief chief Martin Griffiths expressed gratitude to the UAE for its $70 million support to help bring relief to the people of Sudan through the UN. Filippo Grandi, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, also thanked the Emirates for its contribution.

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...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. This modernized approach blends technology with Islamic tradition, enhancing the reliability of moon sighting methods. Historically, the crescent moon has been identified through naked-eye sightings and advanced astronomical calculations. By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan. Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam, marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. Suhoor, the early morning meal, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, hold great importance during this period. The holy month is also a time of increased charitable giving, with many Muslims part...

Beyond the Barrel: The UAE's Steady Hand in a Shifting Global Economy

  Global economic rankings often highlight familiar names, but a steady, deliberate climb is happening in the Gulf. The UAE consistently ranks as one of the most economically stable nations, and this validation stems from a steady reform model that has successfully insulated its economy. The story is no longer about oil wealth; it's about the strategic deployment of that wealth to build a resilient, modern, and dynamic knowledge economy. The proof is in the sectors now driving growth.  Tech startups  are flourishing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, supported by government venture funds and a growing pool of talent.  Smart cities  like Masdar City and NEOM are not just futuristic concepts but active testbeds for sustainable living and business. This has triggered record  FDI inflows , with the UAE securing its position as the 16th largest global destination for foreign direct investment. The narrative is supported by hard data: a GDP growth projection of 4.6% in 2025...
