News DeskDubai, UAE – The Pakistan Association Dubai (PAD) has teamed up with the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) under the UAE-AID umbrella to support the Palestinian people affected by the conflict in Gaza. Their collaboration is part of the UAE’s ‘Tarahum – for Gaza’ campaign, aimed at providing vital humanitarian assistance to those impacted by the ongoing crisis in Gaza.
PAD will play a crucial role as a collection point in the city and ensure that the generous donations from the community reach ERC for further distribution. This initiative aligns with the UAE’s deep-rooted humanitarian values and reflects its commitment to offering support in times of crisis.

He stressed the need for unity in efforts to provide much-needed assistance to those affected by the tragedy unfolding in Gaza, thereby standing in solidarity with the UAE in offering hope to countless lives in despair.
