The International Charity Organisation has reported the completion of its 2025 Ramadan campaign, with the total value of its charitable projects amounting to AED 165 million across 23 nations.
Some of the key achievements of the campaign include the distribution of 315,000 Iftar meals in highly impoverished regions and 22,000 food parcels facilitating Iftar in over 450 disadvantaged villages internationally.
In the UAE, the organisation also delivered 300,000 Iftar meals, 3,500 Ramadan food baskets, and 80,000 Fitra (Zakat al-Fitr) contributions to support families in need.
Beyond food aid, the campaign funded the building of 258 mosques, supported the drilling of 1,000 water wells in areas facing water scarcity, and provided assistance to 60,000 orphans. Additional charitable endeavours encompassed medical care and equipment provision, debt relief efforts, and support for income-generating family projects.
Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Nuaimi, highlighted that exceeding the campaign's targets demonstrates strong community engagement in charitable work and reaffirms the UAE's commitment to a dignified life for the world's most vulnerable.
He conveyed his appreciation to the generous contributors and the dedicated teams of the International Charity Organisation for their outstanding work during the Ramadan campaign, emphasising that this enduring spirit of giving will be the foundation for future initiatives.

Salik Announces Variable Toll Rates During Eid Holiday
Dubai's toll operator Salik has announced variable toll rates for Sunday, June 8 — the third day of Eid Al-Adha — to help manage traffic flow during the holiday period. On that day, peak-hour tolls will apply from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM and again from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with a charge of AED 6 per crossing. These hours are expected to see higher traffic volumes as residents travel for Eid-related activities. Off-peak hours will be in effect from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and from 8:00 PM to 1:00 AM the following day, during which the toll will be reduced to AED 4. No tolls will be charged between 1:00 AM and 6:00 AM on Monday, as Salik waives tariffs during the early morning hours. The temporary adjustment is part of Salik's dynamic pricing model aimed at easing congestion and supporting smoother traffic movements during periods of high demand. It also aligns with broader transport strategies to enhance road efficiency during public holidays. Motorists are encouraged to plan their travel accordingly to avoid delays and benefit from lower tariffs during off-peak times. News Source: Four Agency
