UAE: Sheikh Mohammed announces 1 billion meals distributed to 65 countries in 3 years
UAE Vice President Sheikh Mohammed had launched the 'One Billion Meals' campaign three years ago with an aim to secure food aid for vulnerable communities in 50 countries. On Friday, July 4, the Ruler of Dubai announced the successful completion of the campaign, with one billion means distributed across 65 countries.
And that is not all. The Prime Minister of UAE said that an additional 260 million meals will be distributed in the coming year.
"We have also established sustainable real estate endowments to ensure the continuity of providing food to those in need around the world in the coming years," he wrote in a post on X in Arabic.

The ''One Billion Meals' campaign was an addition to the series of food aid drives launched by Sheikh Mohammed over the past years, starting with 10 Million Meals, 100 Million Meals and later the 1 Billion Meals campaign of Ramadan 2022.
In 2022, the campaign provided much needed aid to displaced individuals and families, and crisis-stricken communities in 13 countries, including Jordan, India, Pakistan, Lebanon, Kyrgyzstan, Angola and Uganda.
Through an integrated food supply ecosystem, the One Billion Meals campaign aims to provide sustainable food aid to underserved populations, as part of the UAE's contributions to global efforts.
The One Billion Meals campaign responds to the global need of providing consistent humanitarian assistance to underserved communities all over the world, supporting efforts to achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 2 that aims to end hunger by 2030.
