UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan yesterday received a phone call from Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States, to discuss concerted efforts to enhance the urgent humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip and bolster the provision of humanitarian assistance to civilians impacted by escalating military activity.
