Volunteers unite in Abu Dhabi for Gaza relief

People across the UAE helped assemble 38,000 aid boxes for Palestinians in Gaza.

In a remarkable display of solidarity, nearly 4,000 volunteers gathered at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre to pack aid boxes for the Palestinian people in Gaza. 

This humanitarian initiative is part of the ongoing Compassion for Gaza campaign, with more packing events in the pipeline. Organizers are set to announce the upcoming dates for these events.

Massive Turnout Reflects UAE’s Compassion

Rashid Al Mansouri, the deputy secretary-general for local affairs at Emirates Red Crescent, extended his heartfelt appreciation to the residents of the UAE who actively participated in and generously donated to the Compassion for Gaza campaign. 

Despite the specified hours of operation from 9 am to 2 pm, the turnout of volunteers began even earlier. 

This overwhelming response demonstrates the UAE residents’ deep commitment to humanitarian work and their eagerness to contribute to the welfare of those in need. 

It highlights the shared values of compassion and solidarity in the region.
