UAE’s humanitarian efforts are being considered a role model globally

 


Last Monday, the UAE celebrated global humanitarian efforts, paying tribute to the courage, dedication, and resilience of countless humanitarian professionals and volunteers worldwide. The Gulf state remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting affected communities around the globe.

The UAE's significant contributions to humanitarian efforts have garnered global recognition. Leaders and international organizations often cite the country's approach as a model for delivering aid.

The Emirates has also played a vital role in bolstering the global food system. Its prominent initiatives in addressing food security challenges have ensured that aid reaches those in conflict-affected areas.

Enhancing Security and Stability for Affected Communities  

The UAE’s comprehensive support, both financial and in-kind, along with its strategic partnerships, underscores its unwavering commitment to humanitarian causes. These efforts enhance security and bring stability to affected communities worldwide.


Khaled Khalifa, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees' Representative to the Gulf Cooperation States, recently highlighted the UAE’s profound impact in providing essential resources and hope to countless individuals.


The UAE is renowned for its generous support of humanitarian programs aimed at assisting refugees. The country has provided substantial backing to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and other humanitarian agencies.


UAE's Efforts Toward Permanent Peace in Sudan  

In a bid to protect civilians, ensure humanitarian access, and halt hostilities in Sudan, the UAE, along with the US, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UN, and other delegations, recently met with representatives of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).


Sudan has been grappling with intense conflict since last year, as clashes between the Sudanese armed forces and the paramilitary group have claimed numerous lives and displaced many others to neighboring countries.


During the meeting, the delegations emphasized the urgent humanitarian needs of civilians, the necessity of upholding international humanitarian law, and the importance of fulfilling commitments made under the Jeddah Declaration.


UAE's Global Humanitarian Initiatives in Focus  

Beyond Sudan and Gaza, the UAE has extended humanitarian assistance to several countries worldwide. During last year’s floods in Pakistan, the Gulf state swiftly delivered over 5,200 tonnes of emergency supplies.


Since November 2021, the UAE has provided nearly 50,000 tonnes of urgent humanitarian aid to Gaza via 260 flights and 1,243 trucks, supporting those affected by the ongoing crisis. The country has also advocated for an effective and lasting ceasefire.


In addition, the UAE has facilitated multiple major Russia-Ukraine prisoner exchanges and sent medical relief supplies to Ukraine, providing food aid to Ukrainian refugees in Bulgaria.


In Indonesia, the UAE has allocated significant funding to combat tuberculosis. Recently, the Gulf state dispatched a relief plane carrying aid for flood victims in Rio Grande do Sul. The UAE has also been actively involved in humanitarian efforts in the Philippines.

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...
