The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI) organized a host of charity initiatives to celebrate Zayed Humanitarian Day, observed on Ramadan 19 of every year. 

His Excellency Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, said: “Zayed Humanitarian Day is a day of giving back to society. It reflects the UAE’s commitment to the humanitarian values that Sheikh Zayed instilled in the UAE people. Our wise leadership has continued on the same path of giving and helping those in need.”

He added: “Charitable and humanitarian work is a part and parcel of our community, reaching people in need wherever they are across the globe. The UAE was one of the first countries to extend a helping hand to our brothers and sisters who were affected by the war in Gaza, providing life-saving aid to alleviate their suffering. This is but one of many examples of the country’s philanthropic efforts.”

The Minister applauded the UAE’s support of communities around the world through contributing to their renewables and sustainability drives.

Initiatives that marked Zayed Humanitarian Day included distributing Ramadan food baskets to families with limited income and blue-collar workers, handing out packaged iftar meals to fasting people, and organizing a mass iftar for the Ministry’s support staff in the presence of His Excellency Eng Sharif Al Olama, Undersecretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs at MoEI. Such initiatives foster the spirit of giving and compassion during the holy month and nurture a sense of solidarity.
