Dubai gears up to fund Gaza relief operation

Under Dh30 umbrella, Dubai has started fundraising to aid war-torn Gaza in resuming its relief operation.

The fund razing, started by Anera, which was paused earlier this month, has been resumed after the attacks on aid workers.

Anera is an on-ground partner of Dubai Cares for the ‘Gaza In Our Hearts’ Ramadan fundraiser.

“After the killing of Anera staff member Mousa Shawwa, followed by the attack that killed seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen, we made the difficult but necessary decision to pause aid operations on April 2,” its president Sean Carroll said in a statement.

Now, the group said the circumstances “have changed sufficiently” to resume operations.

The main aim of the group is to provide hot meals, food baskets, and emergency shelter tents to the people of Gaza.

Since the fundraiser started, the UAE’s Good Samaritans have shown unwavering support.

Here’s how to donate:

Via SMS: Text the word “donation” to 9030, 9090, 9300, 9600 and 9900 to donate Dh30, Dh90, Dh300, Dh600 or Dh900, respectively through Etisalat by e& and Du.
