In 2023, MBRGI’s efforts under the pillar of Humanitarian Aid & Relief reached around
34.4 million people, up 4.2 million people from the number of beneficiaries in 2022.
Spending under this pillar amounted to around AED 1.1 billion, up AED 190 million
compared to 2022.

In collaboration with regional and international organisations, MBRGI launched several
initiatives and campaigns around the world, with a focus on underserved communities

facing the challenging realities of poverty, natural disasters and conflicts.

Campaigns and initiatives launched under this pillar included the ‘1 Billion Meals
Endowment’ campaign, which aimed to establish the largest sustainable food
endowment fund that would help eliminate hunger in line with Sustainable Development

Goals. A massive success, the campaign raised a record AED 1.075 billion from
180,000 contributors, including His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum’s personal contribution of real estate assets and monetary donations worth
AED 250 million.

Other initiatives included “Bridges of Goodness” campaign to provide and relief to
victims of the Syria and Türkiye earthquake, emergency aid to Sudanese displaced
populations who forcibly left their homes due to conflict in Sudan, as well as emergency
aid worth AED 50 million to Palestinians in Gaza who face sever humanitarian

challenges.

In 2023, the International Humanitarian City (IHC) celebrated two decades of proactive
humanitarian work since its establishment. Over 746 metric tonnes of aid were
dispatched by IHC in 2023, benefiting over 1.5 million people affected by wars and
natural disasters.
