It has provided substantial quantities of essential medicines and medical equipment and allocated $5 million for a polio vaccination campaign, which has successfully immunized 650,000 children. The UAE is also enhancing hospital capabilities by supplying state-of-the-art medical equipment.

In addition to immediate relief efforts, the UAE is contributing to long-term support for Gaza’s infrastructure. This includes providing water and sanitation equipment, repairing water pipelines and wells in Khan Younis and northern Gaza, and organizing water distribution campaigns in shelters.

The UAE’s ongoing humanitarian efforts are a testament to its leadership in global charity work, with its foreign aid contributions surpassing Dhs360 billion. This demonstrates the UAE’s unwavering dedication to supporting countries in need and reinforcing its role as a global leader in charitable initiatives.
