His Excellency Mohamed Obaid Alqataam Alzaabi, UAE Ambassador to the Philippines, said: “Dispatching food supplies is part of the UAE’s commitment to provide essential relief in times of crisis, particularly natural disasters that result in severe food shortages, and require intervention to support affected citizens.”

His Excellency affirmed that the UAE will continue its extensive efforts to provide aid and support those impacted by the devastating floods in Davao de Oro. These endeavors reflect the UAE’s unwavering approach, established by the founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and following the directives of the UAE’s leadership, to consistently support and provide urgent response to nations during crises and disasters.
