Dubai is mobilizing efforts to provide 10 million meals to Gaza residents in a humanitarian drive honoring the late Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid. The event, known as the Ahmed bin Rashid Humanitarian Bridge, is part of the UAE's ongoing commitment to supporting Palestinians affected by conflict. Organized by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives and Operation Gallant Knight, the initiative takes place at Dubai World Trade.
Sheikh Ahmed, a prominent figure in Dubai's police force and business community, passed away on Monday, leading to a ten-day period of mourning. Despite a US-backed ceasefire in October 2025, Israeli airstrikes continue to disrupt Gaza's infrastructure, leaving residents with scarce food, water, and healthcare resources. The 10 million meals campaign follows a recent initiative to distribute warm clothing to one million Gazans, aiming to aid those bracing for winter.
The Zayed Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation has already dispatched 5,000 winter kits, including jackets, seasonal essentials, and blankets, to Gaza. The UAE has also recently delivered 781 tonnes of aid, including food and water supplies, to the enclave.
