UAE on a mission to ensure a brighter future for all through selfless humanitarianism

 


The UAE has consistently demonstrated its commitment to humanitarianism, playing a vital role in providing global aid during times of crisis. From delivering essential supplies to Gaza amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict and supporting search operations after the devastating Turkey earthquake to pledging significant aid for Sudan, the UAE’s actions underscore its dedication to humanitarian efforts.

A leading contributor, the UAE has provided 27% of the total aid to Gaza, also setting up a field hospital in the territory. On Global Humanitarian Day, UN Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized the need to protect humanitarians and civilians, calling attention to the disregard for international humanitarian rules.

Generosity, deeply rooted in Emirati culture, is fostered by the nation’s leadership. HH Sheikh Khalid bin Zayed, Chairman of the Zayed Higher Organisation for People of Determination (ZHO), highlighted the importance of global alliances and compassion in tackling today’s challenges. He credited the late Sheikh Zayed, the UAE's founding father, for instilling values of philanthropy and solidarity.

Topping global donor lists for humanitarian and development aid, the UAE’s contributions cover disaster relief, medical care, education, and the protection of vulnerable populations. HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed, Chairman of the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC), noted that under the leadership of President HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, the UAE continues to expand its efforts, driven by humanitarian goals rather than political motives.

Between 2020 and 2022, the UAE provided $3.45 billion in international aid, with no restrictions based on race, religion, or geography. The aid focuses on key areas such as child welfare, poverty eradication, and women's empowerment, reflecting the nation's principle of tolerance.

The UAE’s global humanitarian efforts include:

1. Gaza Reconstruction: The UAE plans to contribute to Gaza's rebuilding efforts following the conflict, advocating for a ceasefire in the region.
   
2. Iraq’s Post-Conflict Rebuilding: The UAE pledged $50 million for heritage restoration in Mosul and $3 billion for broader reconstruction efforts.

3. Aid to Sudan: With the Sudanese people facing increasing hardships, the UAE has committed $70 million to humanitarian agencies working in the region.

4. Russia-Ukraine Prisoner Exchanges: The UAE has facilitated at least six prisoner exchanges this year, underscoring its role as a mediator for peace.

5. Brazil Flood Relief: The UAE swiftly sent aid to Brazil after severe flooding, receiving gratitude from Brazil's president.

6. Earthquake Aid to Morocco: After an earthquake hit Marrakech, the UAE dispatched urgent relief supplies and sent rescue teams to assist on the ground. 

These efforts are a testament to the UAE’s unwavering dedication to humanitarianism and global solidarity.

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...
