World Charity Day: The UAE has a distinguished record in humanitarian aid and charitable work

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has established a global reputation in the field of charity. World charity day is celebrated on September 5, every year, and the UAE has a distinguished record in charity and humanitarian work.

The UAE is home to various charity initiatives and campaigns. His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, has always been interested in charitable work. The UAE takes the initiative to give without asking for anything in return.

The country carries the legacy of helping others, which the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan established for people suffering from destitution and extreme poverty around the world. During the era of the late Sheikh Khalifa, the UAE continued its path of providing foreign aid to various countries in order to remove poverty. 

Recently, the UAE helped needy people in Pakistan and Sudan after the destructive flood caused havoc in these countries. When the flood hit Pakistan, the UAE sent around 3,000 tonnes of food, medical aid and pharmaceutical supplies to the flood-affected areas in Pakistan. MBZ also made a phone call to the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif. He offered condolences to the flood victims and reiterated the UAE’s full support to Pakistan. The Pakistani PM also thanked the UAE President for the urgent humanitarian relief. When the flood hit Sudan, the UAE President ordered the provision of AED 25 million of urgent aid to flood victims. 

In July, the UAE also helped Afghanistan after the destructive earthquake affected the country. After the earthquake, the UAE immediately started operating an air bridge to help people in Afghanistan. 

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the UAE also provided urgent humanitarian aid to various countries of the Arab and Islamic world and European countries. Under the directives of MBZ, the UAE sent Covid-19 vaccines, sanitisers, ventilators and test kits to more than 140 countries. 

Last year, the UAE sent an aid plane containing 7.7 metric tons of medical supplies and testing equipment to the Union of Comoros. The UAE’s aid helped healthcare workers as they worked to contain the spread of COVID-19.

Charity work in the UAE has increased rapidly because of the contributions of citizens and residents.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel will “take control of all” of the Gaza Strip, signaling an unprecedented escalation in the ongoing conflict. In a video posted to Telegram, Netanyahu emphasized that military operations are advancing rapidly, with no intention of backing down. “The fighting is intense, and we are making progress,” he said, framing the offensive as necessary for Israel’s long-term security.

  The Muslim Brotherhood started in Egypt during 1928 since then it has portrayed itself as a combination of political organization and social movement working for Islamic values and governance. jinakata the Brotherhood displays an intricate web that connects extremist concepts and violent deeds which produce regional turmoil.
