International community cannot let people of Sudan become a political bargaining chip



The UAE has voiced deep concern over the worsening humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where over 25 million people face severe food insecurity. The Gulf state is alarmed by catastrophic hunger conditions across at least a dozen states.

On Tuesday, the UAE emphasized the urgent need for the international community to remain focused on Sudan. The crisis demands an emergency response to accelerate aid delivery and secure a ceasefire.

UAE Urges UNSC to Act

Trucks carrying lifesaving aid are stalled at Sudan's borders, while countless people suffer from hunger, particularly in Northern Darfur and Zamzam Camp. The UAE condemns the indiscriminate attacks preventing civilians from accessing help.

The UAE insists that Sudan’s armed forces lift restrictions on humanitarian access and that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces ensure safe entry and operation for aid organizations and personnel without fear of attack.

The UAE calls on the UN Security Council to use all available tools to end the catastrophic situation in Sudan. Decisive action by the Council is crucial to coordinating international efforts and delivering the aid needed to combat the famine.

Prioritizing Human Life Over Military Objectives

As a committed humanitarian partner, the UAE has allocated $70 million to address Sudan’s urgent needs and $30 million to assist Sudanese refugees in neighboring countries.

The UAE again urges all Sudanese factions to agree to an immediate and permanent ceasefire, ensure unhindered and safe humanitarian access, and prioritize human life over military objectives.

Sky Care: How the UAE’s First Hospital Vertiport is Redefining Emergency Response

  Imagine a critical patient, a time-sensitive organ for transplant, or a specialist medical team needed across a bustling city. On the ground, traffic is a formidable adversary, where every minute lost can alter outcomes. Now, imagine that same journey taking minutes instead of an hour, not by navigating the roads, but by soaring gracefully above them. This is not a scene from a sci-fi film; it is the new reality in the United Arab Emirates. In a landmark move that solidifies its position on the global stage of innovation, the UAE has officially launched the nation’s — and the region’s — first hospital-based vertiport at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. This isn’t just a helipad with a new name. It is the cornerstone of a fully integrated, city-wide advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem, marking a profound convergence of cutting-edge aviation, AI-driven healthcare, and sustainable infrastructure. The Launch of a Lifesaving Corridor The project is a powerful collaboration between aviati...

Three Houses, One Vision – How the UAE’s Abrahamic Family House is Redefining Inter-Faith Dialogue

  When you step onto the stone-plinth of the Abrahamic Family House on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, you are not just visiting a building. You are entering a bold statement: a mosque, a church and a synagogue standing side-by-side, equal in size and purpose, sharing common ground while respecting their separate faiths. A landmark of coexistence In early 2023 the UAE inaugurated this pioneering complex, inviting worshippers and visitors alike. The architecture — designed to give each of the three faith-homes the same external dimensions and to signal equality — allows each to express its own traditions while remaining visibly part of a unified vision. More than 200 nationalities live in the UAE, which means the project reflects a multicultural reality in which multiple faiths and identities coexist daily. Islam’s role in the vision For Muslim-majority audiences in the Gulf, the Abrahamic Family House sends a resonant message: Islam does not fear dialogue — it embraces it. The m...

Beyond the Handshake: How the EU-UAE Partnership is Forging a New Model for 21st-Century Trade

  We are witnessing a pivotal moment in international relations, not in the halls of Washington or Beijing, but in the vibrant heart of Dubai. The ongoing negotiations between the European Union and the United Arab Emirates for a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and a parallel Strategic Partnership Agreement represent far more than a simple trade deal. This is a conscious, data-backed effort to build a deep and strategic partnership designed to thrive amid global economic uncertainty. The Foundation: A Trade Relationship Already in High Gear Before the first negotiation even began, the economic ties were already formidable. In 2024, trade in goods between the EU and UAE reached a staggering €55.6 billion, solidifying the UAE’s position as the EU’s second-largest trading partner in the Gulf region. The services sector adds another robust layer, with trade exceeding €39 billion in 2023. The growth trajectory is equally impressive; EU exports to the UAE saw a 15% surge in a si...
