Two Emirati citizens who happened to be near the River Thames rescued a woman from drowning in London on Friday.
A video of the incident has gone viral on social media networking sites.
The video was first shared by Amjad Taha, Expert in Strategic Political Affairs (Middle East), on X platform.
Amjad wrote, “Two UAE citizens rescue a woman from drowning in London. Wherever and whenever, saving lives is our mission.”
The video showed the two men rushing to the aid of the woman who was struggling to keep afloat.
The duo pulled her to safety.
The men were greatly admired by the passersby for their brave action.
Medical personnel near the area later tended to the woman. It was not known how the woman fell into the river.
An X user Muhammad Al Qubaisi said, “May God bless them and reward them with a thousand good things…”
A user said, “The UAE has changed the world’s perception of Arabs.
“May God continue to bless the Emirates in their efforts to achieve peace and advance the world forward.”
Another user wrote, “They are the blessed Zayed’s children. May God bless them. They deserve to be honoured.”
Al Fahaadi wrote, “We loved the youth of the Emirates, by nature, they are people of chivalry and fearlessness, and they inherited it from their leadership, just like their Saudi brothers, and the whole world bears witness to their magnanimity and love for fearlessness and assistance.”
Dick Ball wrote on X, “The UAE obviously invested its wealth in its own people and the results are showing in good ways. That should make you feel very proud.”
A user with the name Elliot said, “I’ve never met any Emirati who wasn’t warm and welcoming, both in Europe and in the UAE.”
Florance Notarius wrote, “When a person loves life and all of God’s creation, that person will do everything they can to preserve life. We are born with a duty to live, to bring love and kindness to the world through good deeds. That’s the way of the light. These two guys will be rewarded multi fold.”
The UAE remains committed to supporting charity work and extending a helping hand to people around the world.
The art of helping and looking after fellow human beings regardless of their religion and culture are greatly embedded in the Emirati society. The UAE leadership invests its wealth in the youth of the country for a better future.
