Dubai has launched a humanitarian initiative to prepare 10 million meals for civilians in Gaza, in honor of the late Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid. The event, called the Ahmed bin Rashid Humanitarian Bridge, is being organized by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives in collaboration with Operation Gallant Knight, the UAE's humanitarian campaign for Gaza.
Sheikh Ahmed, the brother of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, the Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, was a prominent figure in Dubai's police force, private investment firm, and sports sector. Despite a US-backed ceasefire in October 2025 halting large-scale fighting in Gaza, the conflict continues with Israeli air strikes, leaving many Palestinians displaced and in dire need of basic necessities such as food and water.
The 10 million meals campaign follows a previous initiative by the UAE to provide warm clothing to one million people in Gaza, part of the country's ongoing support for the enclave during the harsh winter months. The UAE has already sent 781 tonnes of aid, including food and shelter materials, and nine water tankers to Gaza, demonstrating its commitment to providing essential aid to the Palestinian population.
