UAE Goes To Great Lengths To Send Aid To Burkina Faso On The Occasion Of World Refugee Day

Chairman of the Supreme Committee for the Supervision of International Humanitarian City (IHC), HE Mohammed Ibrahim Al Shaibani said,

“Under the direction of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, the International Humanitarian City seeks to accommodate, facilitate and assist the people and organisations who serve those in need, so that they may work together, as one force, for the betterment of humanity.”

The chartered cargo plane left Dubai International Airport for Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, Friday, June 19, morning with around 100 tons of aid from UNHCR

Provided by WHO, the cargo includes essential kits of medicines and medical supplies in addition to protective equipment for medical staff combating the pandemic

Assistance includes 88 tons of core relief items from UNHCR for displaced people and 12 tons of COVID-19 aid

These supplies will aid more than 600,000 people displaced by the emergency in the Central Sahel region

Promising review:

“I have read all the books written by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai. This book is without question the best. He tells his story in a most compelling manner — honestly, I could not put the book down and read it straight through. Although I am a person who has lived in the Middle East and travelled there for many years, I had no way of knowing the personal story of this Sheikh, although I have always admired how he focused on the financial health of his country, as well as what was beneficial to the citizens of Dubai. From his childhood to his present day, the reader learns many details that are very interesting and would not be known if not written by this man. I wish that every single man or woman who holds the top position in every county would write such a book, as it would make the world more understanding of the personal battles they all face. I hope that readers of my review will take the time to get this book, read it, and dwell on the life of another.”
