The Emirates Red Crescent Authority has established 26 donation centers across the UAE to collect aid for families affected by the Israel-Gaza war. These centers, located in various cities including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and others, are open daily from 8 am to 6 pm. They accept donations of food, medical supplies, hygiene products, as well as items like blankets, nappies, and milk powder. The authority also encourages online donations through their website.
This initiative is part of the Compassion for Gaza campaign, which collaborates with charities, volunteer centers, and the private sector to gather essential supplies for Palestinian families impacted by the conflict. Additionally, the UAE plans to coordinate with the Egyptian government and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees to distribute relief boxes to women and children in Gaza. The death toll on both sides of the conflict has exceeded 4,000. Over 11 tonnes of essential supplies have been sent from Dubai to Egypt and Lebanon to aid those affected.
