Abu Dhabi [UAE], October 27 (ANI/WAM): A collection drive with the participation of more than
1,000 volunteers held at Al Bustan Hall in Fujairah as part of the “UAE stands with Lebanon”
campaign resulted in gathering 100 tonnes (5,000 parcels) of relief materials comprising food
supplies and shelter equipment for the people of Lebanon.
This additional relief aid comes from the directives of President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan,
with follow-up from Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and
Chairman of the Presidential Court, and under the supervision of Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin
Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Development and Fallen Heroes’
Affairs and Chairman of the International Humanitarian and Philanthropic Council.

The Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi Foundation for Humanitarian Affairs and the Fujairah Charity
Association organised the relief aid event overseen by the International Humanitarian and
Philanthropic Council.

Among the dignitaries present at the event were Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad bin Saif Al Sharqi and
his children, Sheikh Ahmed Bin Hamad bin Saif Al Sharqi, Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamdan bin Suhail
Al Sharqi and a number of other prominent personalities from the emirates of Fujairah.

Saeed bin Mohammed Al Raqbani, Special Advisor to the Ruler of Fujairah and Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Fujairah Charity Association, stressed the keenness of the UAE leadership,
headed by President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to urgently provide humanitarian relief to
Lebanon.

He also referred to the directives of Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Supreme Council Member
and Ruler of Fujairah, to continue relief aid within the framework of the mass campaign “UAE
stands with Lebanon”, which symbolised the UAE’s commitment to harmony, solidarity and peace.

Suhail Rashid Al Qadi, Director of the Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi Foundation for
Humanitarian Affairs, said that the values of giving, especially for societies in distress, were integral
to the Emirati ethos, which was left behind by the founding fathers and reinforced by the leadership.

A number of Emirati charities took part in the collection event, namely the Emirates Red Crescent,
Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan
Foundation, Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum Humanitarian and Charity Establishment, Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities
Department in Dubai, Hamad Bin Mohammed Al Sharqi Foundation for Humanitarian Affairs,
