UAE President directs urgent relief worth US$30 million to displaced Lebanese citizens in Syria



 Under the directives of President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed has launched a two-week philanthropic campaign to provide essential relief to Lebanon. This initiative, driven by the UAE’s strong tradition of humanitarian support, seeks to address the economic hardships currently facing the Lebanese people by delivering much-needed aid in healthcare, education, and food.


As Lebanon grapples with its ongoing economic challenges, the campaign comes as a vital lifeline for many citizens. The Theyab bin Mohamed Bin Theyab Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation will lead the effort, working in close coordination with local humanitarian organizations to ensure that relief reaches those most in need.


The campaign is being personally overseen by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, as part of the UAE’s broader commitment to international solidarity and humanitarian assistance. This initiative follows a long history of UAE efforts to support Lebanon, especially during critical times of crisis.


Aims of the Campaign


The core focus of the two-week campaign is to provide:


• Humanitarian aid: Offering direct assistance to those suffering from the effects of the economic downturn.

• Healthcare support: Supplying medical resources to ensure that people have access to vital healthcare services.

• Educational aid: Supporting schools and students with the tools needed for continued learning during these difficult times.

• Food assistance: Providing essential food supplies to families struggling to make ends meet.

Humanitarian Coordination


To maximize the impact of this campaign, the Theyab bin Mohamed Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation will collaborate with key humanitarian organizations in Lebanon. Together, these groups will implement relief projects across different regions, delivering aid that is tailored to the specific needs of local communities.


The UAE’s strategic partnerships with international and regional relief organizations have long been a hallmark of its humanitarian efforts. This campaign continues that tradition by ensuring that all resources are mobilized effectively and that aid reaches those who need it most.


A Commitment to Lebanon


Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed’s initiative is part of a broader commitment by the UAE to support Lebanon through both immediate relief and long-term development projects. The UAE’s leadership has always maintained that the well-being of neighboring countries is a priority, and this campaign is another reflection of that enduring philosophy.


As Lebanon continues to navigate its economic recovery, this campaign underscores the UAE’s role as a global leader in humanitarian aid, extending a helping hand to those in crisis.
