The UAE has urgently dispatched a search and rescue team, comprising members from Abu Dhabi Police, the National Guard, and the Joint Operations Command, to support efforts to save people affected by the earthquake in Myanmar.

Under the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the initiative stems from the UAE’s commitment to providing immediate relief to communities suffering from the aftermath of natural disasters anywhere in the world as a gesture of solidarity and brotherhood.

It reflects the nation’s international humanitarian obligations, and its mission to extend a helping hand to those in need.

The UAE is in the forefront of countries that rush with urgent humanitarian response to the victims of natural disasters across the world.
