Dubai to deliver 10 million meals to support Palestinians in Gaza

Dubai is spearheading a monumental humanitarian effort to deliver 10 million meals to Palestinians in Gaza, addressing their urgent needs and alleviating their suffering. The initiative, organized by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), will see the meals transported aboard the Mohammed bin Rashid Humanitarian Ship, in collaboration with Operation Chivalrous Knight 3. Community members are encouraged to volunteer and assist in meal preparation on December 7 at the Dubai Exhibition Centre in Expo City. Interested individuals can register at www.MBRship.ae. This campaign highlights the UAE’s unwavering commitment to humanitarian aid and solidarity with the Palestinian people. Mohammad Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs and Secretary-General of MBRGI, emphasized the UAE’s dedication to supporting those in need, stating that the initiative symbolizes the nation’s generosity and belief in turning pain into hope. The effort builds on MBRGI’s broader pledge, announced in January 2024, to provide Dh43 million in direct food aid to one million people in Gaza, in partnership with the World Food Programme. This follows earlier commitments, including Dh50 million in urgent aid directed by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in 2023 and a September 2024 shipment of 71.6 tonnes of medical supplies to Gaza via Egypt’s El Arish port.
