What is the position of the UAE on the international humanitarian relief map?
Sana’a Darwish Al Katbi: The UAE, under the directions of its wise leadership, is one of the leading charity powers in the world, and shoulders its responsibilities in protecting human dignity. The international arena is facing many challenges due to increase in disasters, conflicts and wars. There is an increase in the number of refugees and displaced people, and many of them live in inhumane conditions. Those who follow the UAE’s march in this vital field will find that it is working in many countries and fields with the aim of reducing the burden of those people who are affected by disasters and threatened by hunger, poverty and disease. The UAE has set up organisations and funds for undertaking development and construction activities in poor countries which are affected by such unfortunate events. These organisations include the Red Crescent Authority, the Zayed Foundation, Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Charity Foundation, Dubai Cares, Noor Dubai, the Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Char
