The UAE has dispatched six aircraft carrying around 205 tonnes of medical, relief, food and shelter supplies to Lebanon, to support the brotherly Lebanese people.

The planes also included aid provided in cooperation with the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), which was dispatched over two days via the UAE air bridge as part of the "UAE Stands with Lebanon" campaign.

These supplies reflect the UAE’s steadfast efforts in cooperation with international partners to provide urgent relief to the people of Lebanon, to alleviate the critical humanitarian and health repercussions. 

The aid aircraft were dispatched following the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE President, to support and assist the Lebanese people, embodying the approach adopted by the UAE, its government, and people in extending a helping hand to nations during crises. This humanitarian response aims to mitigate the consequences that have resulted in the suffering of thousands of families due to the lack of medicine, medical supplies, and basic medical services, particularly for the sick, children, the elderly, and women.

The “UAE Stands with Lebanon” campaign was also launched at the national level to support the brotherly Lebanese people. The campaign will begin on Tuesday, October 8, until Monday, October 21, with the participation of society members, institutions, as well as government and private entities.
