The UAE has also played a prominent role in assisting those injured in the war on Gaza by establishing a field hospital in the Palestinian territory, as well as sending a floating hospital equipped with the latest medical devices off the coast of the Egyptian city of Al Arish.
Recently, Emirati hospitals have welcomed dozens of Palestinian children who arrived in the country with their families for treatment as part of a humanitarian initiative launched by Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, aimed at hosting around one thousand Palestinian children.
In late August, Abu Dhabi supported the polio vaccination campaign in Gaza with about $5 million on the President’s directives.
The UAE’s support for the victims of the ongoing conflict in Lebanon recalls Sheikh Mohammed‘s directives given just days after the war broke out in Gaza to allocate $20 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) as part of his efforts to help it cope with the crisis.
