She also praised the efforts to stabilise the lives of refugees, by providing for their basic needs and helping them overcome their challenges, while stressing that supporting refugees is an ongoing part of the UAE’S humanitarian directives, and the country has taken the responsibility to evaluate their needs and provide them with a variety of urgent and essential aid.
Sheikha Fatima added that the suffering of refugees, which is caused by their extreme conditions, requires further partnerships between humanitarian organisations to improve their lives and highlight their urgent problems, while noting that the aid provided by the UAE to refugees sends a message that reflects the values of giving, compassion and brotherhood between communities, whose foundations were established by the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
