The Sharjah Ruler Pledges AED 49 Million To Support April Rain Victims!
In a significant move to support residents affected by April’s record rains, His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, has approved Dh49,691,750 in compensation for 1,806 exceptional cases. This initiative specifically targets individuals whose homes were damaged but did not meet the usual criteria for assistance.
Two months prior, the Sharjah Ruler had directed an increase in compensation to Dh50,000 for those impacted by the severe weather conditions. The Social Services Department in Sharjah has been tasked with re-evaluating cases that were initially declined for support, allowing for the newly approved exceptions.

- Minimum support of Dh50,000 for 117 affected cases, amounting to Dh2,883,750 across various areas in Sharjah.
- Support for 83 cases totaling Dh4,565,000 for individuals residing outside the emirate but impacted by the floods.
- Support for 38 new homeowners who received their homes this year, affected by rain damage to new furnishings, amounting to Dh3,043,000.
This comprehensive support aims to alleviate the financial burden on families, enabling them to undertake necessary repairs or renovations. The Social Services Department emphasizes the importance of preventive measures to mitigate future damage, urging families to engage in regular maintenance in collaboration with relevant authorities.
The Sharjah Ruler’s initiative reflects a commitment to community welfare and the well-being of residents in the wake of natural disasters.
