The agreements were signed with a range of charities and public bodies, including Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, the UAE’s relief programme for Palestinians in Gaza launched in 2023; Al Jalila Foundation; Emirates Health Services; the UAE Food Bank; Beit Al Khair Society; Dar Al Ber Society; Noor Dubai; the Digital School; Tarahum Charity Foundation; the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Charitable Establishment; and Fujairah Charity Association.
