Dubai : Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has pledged to build 600 houses for Palestinians who lost their dwellings during the attack on Gaza. Sheikh Mohammad’s gesture is a show of support for resistance of the Palestinian people in Gaza, WAM reported.
Meanwhile, the UAE Ministry of Health (MoH) is collaborating with the Red Crescent Authority (RCA) to provide health services in Palestine in light of the situation in Gaza. This was in line with the directives of UAE President Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan. According to the MoH Executive Director for Medical Practice and Licensing, Dr. Ameen Hussain Al Amiri, who is also head of the UAE National Blood Transfusion Committee, has started collaborating with Palestinian Ministry of Health officials to assess the need for blood transfusion services in the devastated Gaza Strip.
He said more than 140 donors in Sharjah had donated blood so far in a campaign organized at the Khalid Lake area, in collaboration with the Sharjah-branch of the RCA and Sharjah Police. He said his outfit would soon identify other spots throughout the country in addition to the official donation centers nationwide to boost the blood donation campaign.
