Nablus: The UAE’s Human Appeal International (HAI) has donated nearly Dh1 million for orphans sponsored by the authority in Nablus, whose number has now risen to more than a thousand.
Ebrahim Rashid, Director of the HAI Office in the West Bank, said in a speech during a ceremony to hand over the donation in the presence of a number of senior officials, that the authority will remain by the side of the Palestinian people in light of the injustice they are suffering.
He stressed that the humanitarian role of the authority is to continuously help Palestinians to overcome the tragic events they are exposed to in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Rashid added that UAE HAI is considered to be the largest sponsor of Palestinian children and is caring for nearly 20,000 orphans. With the advent of Ramadan, the authority supplements this category with more support and assistance whereby approximately Dh2 million has been allocated to the sponsored orphans.
