Moreover, in solidarity with the Palestinian children and families affected by the ongoing conflict, the ‘Tarahum - for Gaza’ campaign aims to mitigate the severity of the humanitarian conditions, and alleviate the suffering of the most vulnerable groups, especially children, who constitute nearly half of the population of the Gaza Strip. More than one million children are affected by the current conflict, and the campaign will work towards providing children and mothers with basic needs, in addition to health supplies and general hygiene materials.
The campaign begins on Sunday, October 15, 2023, in Abu Dhabi, under the supervision of the Emirates Red Crescent at the Abu Dhabi Ports Hall in Mina Zayed from 9 am - 4 pm, and will be organized across the rest of the Emirates at a later date.
