(Dubai) – His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has instructed the UAE Suqia Water Aid Foundation to give top priority to the provision of potable water to Gazans who are facing an acute shortage of water as a result of the continuous Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
Sheikh Mohammed reiterated the UAE’s firm commitment to standing beside the Palestinian people in their just causes and its keenness to support the people of Gaza in their ordeal.
“Lack of clean drinking water resources constitutes one the most daunting challenges our people of Gaza are facing today. Therefore, we have instructed the Water Aid Foundation to act immediately to deliver ample quantities of the vital resource to the people of Gaza in a way that complements the massive efforts being made by the UAE in partnership with other international organisations and agencies specialised in transporting essential relief supplies to Gaza Strip within the context of UAE President’s urgent humanitarian initiatives,” Sheikh Mohammed said.
