This national campaign, launched in solidarity with those affected by the crisis in Lebanon, aims to gather donations from the public, working in collaboration with various humanitarian and charitable organizations. The initiative operates under the directives of Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, with guidance from Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Presidential Court. Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Development and Fallen Heroes' Affairs and Chairman of the International Humanitarian and Philanthropic Council, is overseeing the efforts.

During his visit, Sheikh Mansoor was joined by Reem Al Hashimy, the Minister of State for International Cooperation, where they received updates on the activities and contributions of volunteers and organizers supporting the campaign. Over 4,000 volunteers gathered at Expo City Dubai, working tirelessly to assemble more than 10,000 emergency relief kits intended for distribution.

Launched last Tuesday, the "UAE Stands with Lebanon" campaign will run until Monday, October 21, with the objective of delivering urgent relief packages to Lebanon. This effort is crucial in addressing the immediate humanitarian needs arising from the country’s ongoing crisis.

Sheikh Mansoor highlighted that the campaign reflects the UAE's national values of solidarity and compassion, reinforcing the nation’s commitment to humanitarian initiatives that support vulnerable communities. He emphasized the leadership's dedication to aiding countries facing adversity, ensuring that assistance reaches those in dire need across the globe.

Furthermore, Sheikh Mansoor expressed that the campaign signifies the UAE's unwavering support for the Lebanese people and the profound ties that exist between the two nations, particularly in these challenging times.

Dubai Cares is overseeing the relief aid collection, coordinating efforts with volunteers from various nationalities and collaborating with donors and business leaders in Dubai. In addition to the activities at Expo City Dubai, the relief package collection and packing efforts will also take place on Sunday, October 13, at the Abu Dhabi Cruise Terminal (Building 1), and again on Saturday, October 19, at Expo Centre Sharjah.
