Dubai Cares launched “Gaza In Our Hearts”, a Ramadan fundraising campaign that mobilizes the UAE community to raise vital funds for the provision of the emergency relief for the people of Gaza. The campaign recognizes the increasingly depleting supply of necessities needed by the people of Gaza, as well as the heightened sentiment of compassion among the UAE community, and a shared desire to extend more support. Building upon the ongoing success of the UAE’s “Tarahum for Gaza” initiative, the campaign raised funds for concrete emergency support, with all donations going towards the delivery of hot meals, food baskets, as well as waterproof and fire-resistant tents. To ensure the prompt and efficient supply of this emergency relief, Dubai Cares entered into a strategic partnership with its longstanding partner, Anera. As the implementing partner, Anera worked closely with UN, diplomatic and non-governmental organization partners to open aid corridors to enable it to urgently deliver life-saving aid. As of February 2024, up to 1.7 million* people (over 75 percent of the population) have been displaced across Gaza, some multiple times. Since 7 October 2023, at least 29,313 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip, with 70 percent of those killed being women and children. Moreover, 69,333 Palestinians have been reportedly injured and up to 280 government schools and 65 UNRWA-run schools have been destroyed or damaged.
