Last August, the United Arab Emirates joined the world in celebrating World Humanitarian Day (WHD), reaffirming its status as a leading nation in extending generosity and support across the globe.
It is no surprise that the UAE has, for many years, topped the list of countries providing the highest amount of foreign aid in relation to its national income.
For years, the UAE has been at the forefront of providing life-saving humanitarian aid to those affected by the world’s most severe crises.
It has earned a distinguished reputation among donor countries, particularly with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The UAE’s substantial support has enabled relief organizations to deliver essential supplies such as healthcare, food, protection, and education services to those impacted by various emergencies.
In May, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, was honoured with the “Global Humanitarian Personality” award by the Mediterranean Parliament. This recognition reflects the deep international appreciation for his role as one of the most inspiring global figures in humanitarian work.
Guided by His Highness’s wise leadership, the UAE remains unwavering in its commitment to providing aid to anyone in need, regardless of their location or the difficulties involved.
In the UAE, humanitarian work is a calling to end wars, promote peace, and foster stability among different nations and peoples.
Under His Highness’s directives and continuous contributions, Emirati aid convoys have traversed the globe, providing relief to those in need in the face of various crises. These efforts have solidified the UAE’s position as a true capital of benevolence and a beacon of humanity worldwide.
