HH Sheikh Ahmed said the occasion comes as the UAE continues to deliver its humanitarian mission across the world. He emphasised that the UAE has never hesitated to provide support to those in need, regardless of geography. The work of the country's humanitarian institutions is recognised both locally and internationally, as are the contributions of teams and individuals delivering vital services in remote and crisis-affected areas. Their efforts, grounded in the values and character of the Emirati people, have helped transform lives and bring hope to vulnerable communities.
