Help Gaza
We all know what is happening in Palestine, with the media being a major source of information for the world. Therefore, I write this letter to ask Gulf News if it is possible for the newspaper to collect aid during the month of Ramadan for our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Also, since protests are being held in many countries around the world, urging the attacks to stop, I ask the newspaper if it is possible for us to have some sort of peaceful awareness drive about the conditions of Palestinian people. This way, we may be able to add further pressure on wrong-doers.

Gulf News cannot collect or fundraise as we are not registered as a charity. However, you can contact several organisations such as Red Crescent (02-6419000) and Dubai Cares (04-4504550) that is providing charity for the Palestinian people. Additionally, we, as a newspaper publish news and coverage that is relevant and shows people the injustices being inflicted on the Palestinian people on a regular basis. We will continue to do our best.

My name is ‘Syed Emaduddin’ but whenever my letter is published my name is print as ‘Syed Emad Al Deen’. Why?

Gulf News follows the house style when it comes to names with its origins in Arabic. We follow the phonetic scheme as it is meant to sound and be written in Arabic, as opposed to adapted spellings. As a standard policy, we change all names to follow the house style.
