The Compassion Campaign from the UAE to our people in the Levant to help one million refugees and relieve their suffering during winter.
In response to an invitation from the President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to support the ‘Tarahamo’ campaign, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) has launched an internal initiative to collect donations from its employees for thousands of refugees in the Levant.
The Tarahamo campaign provides relief for refugees that have been affected by ‘Huda,’ the snowstorm that recently hit the region.
MoF has collected donations from its staff in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, in collaboration with the UAE Emirates Red Crescent, which will provide relief materials to the refugees.
Bee’ah holds internal fundraising initiative
Bee’ah, the Sharjah Environment Company, has run a donation event at its head office to raise money for the refugees based in camps around the Levant area, as well as making its own donation of Dh235,000 to the cause. All proceeds are to go to the Emirates Red Crescent to purchase winter supplies for the refugees.
The event follows the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The UAE launched a humanitarian initiative to help alleviate the suffering of the refugees based in several camps around the Levant regions, in the face of the snowstorm Huda, which has already claimed the lives of four refugees, including children.
The Bee’ah team was encouraged to donate money and winter supplies, including blankets, jackets, gloves and scarves. In attendance was Salim bin Mohamed Al Owais, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bee’ah, who made the donation of Dh200,000 on behalf of the company, presenting a ceremonial cheque to a representative of Red Crescent.
Speaking about the initiative, Meera Taryam, Director of Environmental Services and Education at Bee’ah, said, "His Highness’s Tarahamu (UAE Compassion) campaign for refugees is an extremely important and worthwhile cause, one which we feel a strong duty to get behind. The team at Bee’ah feels that this donation-raising initiative was the very least we could do to hopefully provide some relief to refugees in extremely dire conditions, with no electricity and very limited food and water. The efforts by Red Crescent to provide winter supplies to the refugees are absolutely critical, especially in the face of the hostile storms battering the Levant area."
Dh112,000 donated by du staff
In support of the #UAECompassion campaign launched under the directives of the President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al Nahyan and under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, du’s employees donated Dh112,000 and winter clothes to the UAE Red Crescent Authority.
The donation was presented to Mohammed Al Zaroni, UAE Red Crescent Manager in Dubai, by Hala Badri, Vice-President, Brand and Communications, du, in the presence of senior representatives from both companies. Funds were collected from du employees through donation boxes placed in du’s premises in Dubai Media City, Dubai Academic City, Fujairah Call Centre, and Al Barsha. Donations of warm clothing were also accepted and 13 volunteers from du assisted in helping to pack them.
Badri said: “Once again, our colleagues have truly demonstrated their strong spirit of compassion for helping communities in need. Their generosity is inspirational, and we are proud to have such empathetic people working with us. We are committed to supporting all humanitarian initiatives launched by the UAE, in order to play our part in alleviating the strife of our brothers and sisters in needy communities around the world. Our thanks go to the leadership of the UAE, to His Highness Sheikh Khalifa and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed, for setting such a strong humanitarian example on a national and global scale.”
Al Zarouni expressed his appreciation for du’s immediate response by supporting the campaign through the allocation of SMS numbers for customers to donate through, and by collecting donations -- both money and in kind. The contributions will alleviate the suffering of the refugees in the adverse weather conditions they are facing. He added that the campaign was able to surpass its goals thanks to the unrivalled response of the UAE’s community.
“The UAE’s generosity resembles humane warm winds that will reduce the effects of the cold blizzard,” he said.
EARLIER REPORT
Week-long UAE campaign concludes
On Tuesday the UAE wrapped up a humanitarian week, in accordance with directives from the President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and with follow-up by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to raise funds for refugees and others in the Levant to help them survive the recent powerful snow storm ‘Huda.’
Officials announced that the UAE Compassion Campaign (‘Tarahmu’ in Arabic) has raised more than Dh208 million in financial donations and hundreds of tonnes of material assistance worth Dh20 million, thanks to the enthusiastic response to the President's humanitarian appeal from government institutions, non-government organisations and individuals.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid has instructed humanitarian and relief agencies in the UAE to continue delivery of humanitarian assistance to refugees and other people in Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Iraq's Kurdistan throughout the winter season. UAE aid agencies will distribute winter relief materials and food assistance to help them endure freezing temperatures.
Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Gargawi, Minister for Cabinet Affairs and Chairman of the UAE Compassion National Committee, stated that early directives from the President had contributed significantly to rescuing thousands of people from the Middle East's most severe snowstorm and has drawn the attention of the international community to the suffering of millions of refugees and other people in the Levant and Iraq due to the harsh winter weather.
International appreciation, he noted, continued to pour into the country in response to the President's humanitarian efforts, adding that UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon has underlined the role Sheikh Khalifa is playing in international humanitarian work.
Al Gargawi noted that the daily, close follow up of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid of the relief operations had been instrumental in the swift delivery of assistance to those in need before the snowstorm reached its peak. ''Our humanitarian organisations have achieved an international precedence by delivering relief assistance to the Levant in less than 12 hours.''
The campaign aimed at helping one million people and refugees in camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Gaza and other Palestinian regions, to survive a harsh winter as the Levant countries continue suffering from a devastating snow storm ‘Huda.’
He also announced that as of the final day of the week-long humanitarian campaign, more than Dh208 million was raised, in addition to assistance in kind of Dh20 million. However, relief agencies working on the ground estimate that the number of beneficiaries would rise to over two million.
Al Gargawi said the daily field follow up of Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler's Representative in the Western Region and President of Emirates Red Crescent (ERC), has notably contributed towards facilitating distribution of aid and ensuring success of the campaign in the country as well as outside.
"At the end of the Emirati humanitarian week, we can say that the UAE, its wise and generous leadership and people who are distinguished with noble humanitarian characteristics, have proven that the country will always follow in the footsteps of and values inculcated by the founding fathers."
The total aid raised by the campaign in six days has reached 450 tonnes of food stuff and medical and winter assistance, exceeding Dh20million in cost.
The campaign also launched an air bridge and provided aid to over 520,000 persons at the beginning of the snowstorm.
The air bridge will continue in the coming days to transfer assistance such as heating equipment, winter clothing and food items, which are still being received at the ERC stores across the country.
The aid reached the affected people and refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Iraqi Kurdistan and Palestine and the UAE Compassion Campaign exceeded its goal which was to provide aid to a million refugees by raising financial and in-kind assistance, eventually benefitting more than two million refugees in the coming period.
Central Bank directs banks to contribute
The Central Bank of the UAE issued directives to all banks operating in the UAE to participate and contribute to the UAE Compassion campaign (Tarahamu)) by placing the campaign’s logo on all ATMs.
The move is in response to the call by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, upon all ministries, government institutions and departments, and the private sector in the UAE to react to the directives of the President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, by launching an urgent humanitarian campaign (UAE Compassion) for the relief efforts to protect refugees from the bitter cold Levant winter.
The Central Bank also called on its employees at its Head Office and branches, to participate and contribute to the campaign in cash or kind, and provided containers for receiving donations, which would later be pooled and forwarded to the UAE Red Crescent.
The Central Bank wishes to confirm its belief that the humanitarian initiatives launched by our leadership further solidifies the humanitarian principles of supporting and helping the needy, and demonstrates the compassion and solidarity of UAE citizens and residents with their brothers in the Levant.

In a statement to a correspondent of the Emirates News Agency (Wam), part of the Emirates media delegation currently in Jordan to cover the distribution of winter aid process, Al Mazrouei said that an Emirati cargo plane arrived at Amman airport on Sunday, carrying 40 tonnes of winter material as part of an air bridge through which thousands of tonnes of aid has been transported following orders of the President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa.
This will be followed by a convoy carrying assistance in kind that is meant for winter and has been donated by philanthropists as part of the Show Compassion Campaign, or ‘Tarahamu,’ launched under the directives of the President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa.
