The 'Tarahum for Gaza' campaign, initiated just last week aims to express solidarity with Palestinians suffering from the current conflict and alleviate the harsh humanitarian conditions and suffering faced by the most vulnerable groups. Among these vulnerable groups, children represent a significant portion, with over 1 million children constituting more than half of the Gaza Strip’s population.
The campaign is supervised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in cooperation with the Emirates Red Crescent Authority and the World Food Programme, and in coordination with the Ministry of Community Development. The initiative is supported by 20 relief and humanitarian organisations.
The campaign continues on Sunday with two events taking place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) under the supervision of the UAE Red Crescent; and the Sharjah Expo Centre under the supervision of Sharjah Charity.
