As devastating atrocities continue to unfold in Gaza, businesses throughout the UAE are stepping up by organising fundraisers to supply those in need with humanitarian aid. Established by the Emirates Red Crescent, Tarahum for Gaza has become one of the most successful charity campaigns in the UAE, with many gathering to donate supplies for children, women and families in Palestine. Other charities include the Palestine Children's Relief Fund and UNICEF Gulf. Here, MOJEH rounds up the UAE businesses donating profits, proceeds or organising fundraising events and shares how you can support the initiatives.
