Scores of volunteers trooped to the donation drive events that were held this month in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah.The campaign was supposed to run only until October 21, but considering the massive response from residents, the initiative has been extended.

This Sunday, October 27, the 'UAE Stands with Lebanon event will be held in Fujairah. Those who wish to donate or volunteer can head to:

  • Al Bustan Hall, Fujairah
  • 3pm to 7pm

Volunteers may also sign up for the initiative online through the volunteers.ae platform and other entities in the country.

Donations can be coursed through the Emirates Red Crescent's (ERC) branch in Fujairah. Cash donations can be made through the smart applications of Emirati donor institutions, in addition to the ERC website and applications, or through its official accounts.

Thanks to the help of the community and humanitarian organisations from around the world, the UAE has already sent more than a dozen aircraft carrying tonnes of relief for Lebanon.
