The UAE has initiated a nationwide humanitarian effort to collect and distribute relief for the vulnerable population in Gaza, particularly the over one million children. Donations, both monetary and in-kind, are being accepted through licensed humanitarian organizations like Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) and Unicef Gulf.
For monetary donations:
- ERC offers various options, including Apple Pay, card, text message, or bank transfer. You can donate through this link: Emirates Red Crescent Gaza Donation.
