Under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler's Representative in Al Dhafra Region, and Chairman of Emirates Red Crescent (ERC), Abu Dhabi will host a further aid collection as part of the ‘’UAE Stands with Lebanon’’ campaign.

The aid drive will be held on Tuesday, October 22 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m at ADNEC.

Dr. Hamdan bin Musallam Al Mazrouei, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the ERC, highlighted the vital humanitarian role of the UAE, its leadership, government and people, in urgently responding to the relief of those affected, wounded and injured, and helping those in need and affected in such critical situations and difficult times, especially in areas hit by disasters, crises, wars and conflicts.

The ERC will organise and manage collecting the relief aid, including food and supplies for women and children in the implementation of directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan with the follow-up of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE and Chairman of the Presidential Court, and under the supervision of H.H. Sheikh Theyab bin Mohammed 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 UAE launched the nationwide aid campaign on October 8 to mobilise the UAE community, including individuals, institutions, and both public and private sector organisations, in a collective effort to provide aid to Lebanon.
