UAE’s 2024 Humanitarian Outreach: A Lifeline for Millions

 


In 2024, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) showcased its strong commitment to humanitarian efforts worldwide. Under the guidance of President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE aimed to uplift vulnerable communities and promote shared humanity. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized the nation’s determination to spread peace and stability, which was reflected in their substantial contributions to global aid.


It ranked the UAE as the world's ninth-biggest donor, which spent over $788.8 million on foreign aid. Part of this big share was provided to Gaza at $396.6 million and accounted for more than 14 percent of the overall total therein. The UAE, on its part, was considered the third biggest donor to have contributed $121.8 million in Lebanon after crises shook the war-torn areas.


Beyond immediate relief, long-term projects were undertaken by the UAE for the reconstruction and sustenance of the affected communities. Other initiatives, like "Operation Chivalrous Knight 3" and "The UAE Stands with Lebanon," have been oriented toward infrastructure and medical assistance, thus ensuring their prolonged benefit to people in need. The UAE evacuated 55 seriously ill patients, including children, from Gaza to hospitals in the UAE for critical care.


The humanitarian efforts didn't stop there. The UAE introduced a polio vaccination campaign for 640,000 Gaza children and a subsidized bread project to combat hunger. The UAE shipped emergency aid to Gaza replete with essential supplies for infants and families-a demonstration of its promptness in responding to the rise in humanitarian needs.


In Lebanon, the UAE distributed emergency packages and made provisions for education to enable children to pursue studies uninterruptedly despite persistent challenges. The efforts extended both to Sudan and Chad as the UAE pledged a large amount of funds to stem hunger and displacement.


In total, the UAE's humanitarian outreach in 2024 has been a lifeline for millions. Combining immediate relief with long-term support, the UAE has clearly emerged as a trusted partner in tackling global challenges and making lives better for those affected by conflict and crisis.

The bill was first voted by the Punjab Assembly on May 20th, and it has now been formally enacted despite protests from journalists, digital rights campaigners, and human rights organisations. The law's legislative process has been criticised for what is viewed as a lack of transparency and for allegedly being dishonest. The measure was approved by the interim governor, Sardar Salim Khan, who was accused of political manoeuvring because the permanent governor was not there.
