Winners of the Zayed Award are an inspiration
Opinion UAE, Middle East and world breaking news, stories and analysis February 07, 2025 Winners of the Zayed Award are an inspiration Regarding Shireena Al Nowais's report World Central Kitchen among winners of 2025 Zayed Award for Human Fraternity (January 31): This was really well deserved. I think the people behind the World Central Kitchen did such an inspiring job. It's not just food. They serve humanity, having delivered more than 300 million meals to communities in over 30 countries. I want to thank them for their kindness and their outstanding work. All the other winners were incredible as well. The 14-year-old who developed an inexpensive soap to treat skin cancer? I salute him, too. Meera Sandhu, Dubai A child's message to Trump about his Gaza plan With regard to the video of the Gazan child Maria Hannoun addressing US President Donald Trump: Incredible to see this. When I was her age, I didn't know what politics was or who a president was supposed to be. But this smart child, educated by force by the cruel reality of war is so brave to question the president of America. May she be kept safe and may the Palestinians be able to secure their land and be able to stay on it forever. Eva D, Berlin, Germany In every way, despite their circumstance, Palestinians are teaching the world the basics of life. Bless this little girl, being so wise and eloquent at such a tender age. Lana Bazzi, via email She's adorable and braver than a lot of politicians we've seen. Randa Karam, Beirut, Lebanon Efforts towards solving the Palestinian issue and ensuring long-term peace have being continually derailed by political tensions and violence. However, both Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu appear to be intent on making a genuine attempt to restore security in the region. Whether this new plan could lead to a lasting peace or further complicate an already volatile situation is yet to be seen. K Ragavan, Bengaluru, India Lessons from a Palestinian family on a TV show In reference to William Mullally's report Why Mo Amer chose not to tackle October 7 in season two of Netflix comedy (January 30): I appreciated this show very much. It touched so many issues in a way that was direct and on point while still being clever. I hope it hits people who are unaware of the Palestinian experience, as hard as it hits us who do know. Andrew Limon, Guadalajara, Mexico I think the series really helped a lot of American viewers understand the Israel-Palestine issue from a Palestinian perspective. Victoria Smith, New York City, US
