UAE, the homeland of humanity

The UAE, home to people from more than 200 nationalities, is offering vaccines to everyone, citizens and residents alike, refusing to resort to the alien concepts of vaccine politicization or vaccine nationalization.

Administering more than four million COVID-19 vaccine doses and conducting over 26 million tests is yet another proof that the UAE is confidently striding towards recovery, thanks to the vision of our wise leadership in following the footsteps of the Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

On the global front, the UAE sent Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as well as food aid shipments to other nations to help them deal with the pandemic crisis.

Relief assistance included 10 tonnes to Italy, 13 tonnes to Kazakhstan, 11 tonnes to Ukraine and 10 tonnes to Colombia. 

The UAE also built a 4,000-bed field hospital in the UK and launched repatriation flights to help people return to their countries during these difficult times.

Furthermore, 79.5 million dirhams from Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives allocated for empowering societies in 2020. Number of beneficiaries within this vital axis of promoting development in several societies reached 1.1 million.

Action lines of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's Global Initiatives included: health care and disease control, spreading education and knowledge, humanitarian aid and relief, innovation and Entrepreneurship and empowering communities.

The overwhelming response to UAE's charity initiatives is a testimony to the country's approach to the values of human fraternity, tolerance, moderation and acceptance of others.
