The UAE celebrates 100 days of critical aid to the Syrian earthquake relief efforts

The United Arab Emirates marked 100 days of delivering much-needed aid to Syria following the devastating earthquake that struck Syria in February.

It launched 181 relief flights carrying 5,727 tons of food supplies, medicine and medical equipment and sent three ships loaded with 5,429 tons of necessities to help the citizens trapped in the natural disaster that struck the region on February 6.

President Sheikh Mohammed established Operation Gallant Knight 2, a coordinated humanitarian campaign to support those affected.

The confirmed death toll from the earthquake and subsequent aftershocks in Syria and Turkey is close to 60,000, with millions more affected.

More than 8,000 of the dead were in Syria.

The official Emirates News Agency (WAM), in a report detailing the support provided in the past 100 days, stated that the UAE search and rescue teams spent about 240 hours working to reach survivors trapped under the rubble of demolished buildings.

The UAE also donated equipment used in rescue operations to the Syrian Civil Defense.

In addition to providing assistance on the ground, members of the public have also played their part in the UAE.

Thousands of volunteers have provided vital assistance to residents of both Syria and Turkey as part of the Giving Bridges initiative.

They attended events across the country packing boxes of vital supplies such as dry food, blankets, and toothpaste for disaster survivors.

The campaign was organized by the Emirates Red Crescent, the humanitarian arm of the government, and supported by several other charitable organisations, such as Dubai Cares and Sharjah International Charity Association.

More than 10,000 school bags and other supplies have been handed out to pupils as they prepare to return to classrooms.

Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed, representative of the ruler in the Al Dhafra region and head of the Egyptian Red Crescent Authority, allocated 20 million dirhams for Ramadan programs in Syria, to help 160,000 displaced families.

According to the scheme, 19,371 Ramadan food baskets were distributed in Lattakia Governorate, northwestern Syria, at a rate of 2,700 daily meals in Lattakia, as well as in the governorates of Aleppo, Hama and Homs.

During Eid, clothes were donated to 4,290 families in four governorates, helping 17,160 Syrians.

In addition, 20,000 bags of rice and flour were distributed in four governorates.

Laying the foundations for recovery

The UAE has built 1,000 prefabricated homes in Lattakia at a cost of 65 million dirhams to house families displaced by the earthquake, it was announced last month.

The Equity and Reconciliation Commission oversaw a project to house up to 6,000 people based on directives from President Sheikh Mohammed.

Each of the solar powered homes has 2 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.

A medical team of four specialists has also been formed to serve more than 800 elderly, women and children in Lattakia.

Humanitarian aid continues to be provided to those in need.

Last week, the UAE delivered food parcels to more than 600 healthcare workers in Syria.

On Sunday, WAM news agency reported that the Egyptian Red Crescent distributed supplies to medical professionals in hospitals in Latakia Governorate, northwestern Syria.

It was the latest show of support under the UAE-led We Did Not Forget You initiative, which is set up to thank those on the ground who have worked tirelessly to help those caught up in the natural disaster.

The UAE had earlier donated food and clothing to more than 500 Syrians who participated in the major clean-up operation that followed the earthquake.
