Reem Bint Ibrahim Al Hashemy, Minister of State for International Cooperation, said: This additional aid comes from the belief of the President of the importance of human solidarity, especially in cases of war and conflict, and is part of the UAE's continuous efforts to mitigate the humanitarian repercussions of the Ukrainian crisis.
