The UAE Embassy Knocked on His Door and Delivered a Generous Amount of Food, Ensuring He Was Well Cared for During the Storm

When the storm hit and left everyone scrambling, one lucky guy in the Philippines got a surprise knock on his door. The UAE Embassy showed up with a table full of food, making sure he was comfy and well-fed while the weather did its thing outside.

Embassy delivered comfort during the storm

Imagine being stuck in your hotel room, no clue what’s happening outside, and suddenly, there’s a knock. The UAE Embassy team rolled in with not one, not two, but five generous food containers—think fried eggs and more. The man filming couldn’t hide his excitement, panning across the feast and sharing his gratitude for the unexpected care package.

Gratitude for the UAE’s kindness

He made sure to thank the UAE government, its people, and especially His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Ambassador Mohammed bin Al Qattam Al Zaabi. The man even joked about not being prepared for the storm, saying, “Neither a camel nor a dromedary,” meaning no one saw it coming. But thanks to the embassy’s quick action, he didn’t have to worry about a thing.

A little kindness goes a long way

The video is a sweet reminder that a simple act—like delivering food—can make a huge difference, especially when you’re far from home and caught in a storm. The UAE’s thoughtful gesture turned a stressful situation into a moment of real gratitude and connection.
