In a heartwarming gesture to mark the UAE’s 54th Union Day, the nation has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative titled ‘The Dress of Joy,’ aimed at supporting mass weddings in the Gaza Strip. The project, launched on November 16, 2025, seeks to alleviate the hardships faced by Gazan families following two years of devastating conflict. By facilitating the weddings of 54 grooms, the initiative not only celebrates love but also underscores the UAE’s commitment to humanitarian aid. The project coincides with the UAE’s 54th Eid Al Etihad, symbolizing unity and hope. To participate, eligible grooms must meet specific criteria, including Palestinian nationality, permanent residency in Gaza, and low-income status. Registrations are open from November 16 to November 19, 2025, through the Operation Chivalrous Knight’s website. This initiative reflects the UAE’s ongoing efforts to support vulnerable communities and foster resilience in times of crisis.
