The “UAE Stands with Lebanon” campaign has collected 250 tonnes of relief supplies from various communities through the donation drive held at Abu Dhabi Cruise Terminal 1, Abu Dhabi Ports.
The two-week campaign launched on October 8 aims to gather relief materials to aid those affected by the ongoing conflict in Lebanon.
