Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Development and Fallen Heroes’ Affairs, and Chair of the International Humanitarian and Philanthropic Council.

Sultan Mohammed Al Shamsi, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs for Development and International Organisations and Member of the International Humanitarian and Philanthropic Council, explained that the 12th Emirati plane sent to Lebanon was an extension of the relief air bridge for assisting the people of Lebanon facing hardships and mass displacement.

He added that the UAE was keen on restoring that country to security and stability at the earliest, stressing the vital humanitarian role played by the International Humanitarian and Philanthropic Council in urgently responding to crisis situations in different parts of the world.
