Humanitarian relief planes from the UAE arrive in Lebanon with dedicated aid for women, reflecting a message of solidarity and support from Her Highness Sheikha Fatima.
The campaign was established under the patronage of Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Mother of the Nation, via the Zayed Humanitarian Foundation and General Women's Union, under the supervision of the International Humanitarian Affairs Council.
It was part of the UAE Stands with Lebanon campaign, which has seen thousands of volunteers across the country help the effort to deliver aid and critical supplies to Lebanon.
The Lebanese Women Relief Initiative recently completed the final packing and preparation of women’s relief supplies at the headquarters of the General Women’s Union in Abu Dhabi.
Noura Al Suwaidi, secretary general of the Women's Union, said the UAE has deepened the concept of charitable and humanitarian work to become a societal characteristic.
She said the nation is committed to supporting people affected by conflicts, especially women and children, who often constitute the most vulnerable groups.
Fourteen aircraft have been dispatched since October 4 – 12 to Lebanon, and two to Syria – with the total amount of aid delivered reaching 2,610 tonnes under the UAE Stands with Lebanon campaign.
On Friday, an aid ship from the Emirates carrying 2,000 tonnes of urgent aid arrived at Beirut Port.
