Supervised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in cooperation with the Emirates

Red Crescent Authority (ERC) and the World Food Programme (WFP), and in

coordination with the Ministry of Community Development, the campaign
includes the participation of 20 charitable and humanitarian institutions in

addition to national volunteering platforms.

To date, the Tarahum for Gaza campaign has collected 1,250 tonnes of food,
hygiene and medical relief materials and has prepared 58,000 relief packages

for children and mothers, as well as food packages.

The campaign is an extension of the UAE's endeavours to support the

Palestinian people and alleviate their suffering and the severity of the ongoing

humanitarian crisis by providing essential supplies. The campaign focuses on
the most vulnerable groups, especially children, who constitute approximately

half of the population of the Gaza Strip.

Accredited charitable and humanitarian institutions in the UAE continue to
receive in-kind and financial donations as part of the campaign. Those wishing

to volunteer can register to participate through the UAE’s official volunteer

platforms.
