"The UAE is with you, Lebanon" relief campaign will begin on Tuesday, October 8, and will continue until Monday, October 21, with the participation of the community, institutions, government and private entities.
This campaign comes after the UAE President earlier ordered an urgent relief aid package worth $100 million as part of the state’s efforts to support and assist the Lebanese brothers and stand with them in facing the current challenges and difficulties.
Sheikh Theyab stressed the great interest that the UAE, under the leadership of PSheikh Mohamed, attaches to, and its firm approach to supporting the brotherly people in Lebanon in the face of the humanitarian challenges and difficult circumstances they face.

He also expressed his confidence in the humanitarian and fraternal role that is known to the authentic Emirati community, individuals, institutions and businessmen, in standing with brothers and friends in such crises and extending a helping hand to help those in need.
In light of the earlier presidential order by Sheikh Mohamed, the UAE began sending 6 aircraft loaded with approximately 205 tons of medical, food, relief supplies and shelter equipment to contribute to alleviating the severity of the critical humanitarian and health repercussions, in cooperation with international partners such as the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and the International Federation of Red Cross and Crescent Societies.
The 'UAE with you, Lebanon' campaign will be launched under the directives of President Sheikh Mohamed and the follow up of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs, Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chief of the Presidential Court for Development Affairs and Martyrs' Families, and Chairman of the International Humanitarian Affairs Council.
