Dubai Cares Collaborates With UAE Stands With Lebanon Initiative To Provide Urgent Humanitarian Relief

Dubai Cares, a civil society organisation linked with the UN Department of Global Communications, has joined the UAE Stands with Lebanon initiative. This partnership aims to offer urgent relief to children and families impacted by Lebanon's ongoing humanitarian crisis. The collaboration seeks to inspire the UAE community, including individuals, institutions, and businesses, to raise essential funds for emergency relief efforts.

Lebanon is currently grappling with a severe crisis. Families are facing extreme shortages of food, shelter, and warmth due to ongoing conflicts. With winter approaching, the situation is worsening rapidly. Dubai Cares' fundraising drive aims to address these urgent needs by providing essential supplies such as food and winter kits. They also offer educational and psychological support to help displaced families.

The initiative aligns with the broader goals of the International Humanitarian and Philanthropic Council. It focuses on mobilising resources to deliver life-saving aid to those in dire need. Dubai Cares works closely with trusted partners on the ground to ensure donations effectively translate into tangible relief for those most affected by this crisis.

Dr. Tariq Al Gurg, CEO and Vice-Chairman of Dubai Cares, emphasised the urgency of the situation: "Lebanon is currently facing a catastrophic humanitarian crisis, with countless families displaced and struggling to access even the most basic necessities such as food, shelter, and warmth. As winter looms, the need for emergency relief is more critical than ever."

Dr. Al Gurg highlighted Dubai Cares' commitment: "At Dubai Cares, we firmly believe in the power of collective action. By joining the UAE Stands with Lebanon initiative, we are committed to providing immediate, life-saving support to the most vulnerable families." He urged the UAE community to participate in this mission to ensure vital supplies reach those who need them most.

The fundraising campaign offers various ways for individuals and organisations to contribute meaningfully. Donations will be used for providing essential food supplies that can sustain families for weeks. They will also offer safe shelter for those who have lost their homes and equip families with winter kits for surviving harsh conditions.

Comprehensive Support for Displaced Families

In addition to physical necessities, donations will support psychological recovery from displacement trauma. This ensures holistic aid during these challenging times. The initiative encourages everyone in the UAE community to join hands in supporting Lebanon's most vulnerable families through these efforts.

The collaborative effort between Dubai Cares and other entities aims at making a significant impact on alleviating suffering in Lebanon. By addressing both immediate needs and long-term recovery aspects, they strive to provide comprehensive support during this humanitarian crisis.
