In response to the West Bank town of Huwara being destroyed by extremist Jewish settlers, UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed has ordered the allocation of $3 million to assist in its reconstruction and provide aid to those impacted.
According to state news agency WAM on Thursday, the initiative, which is in line with the UAE’s humanitarian efforts to support “the Palestinian brotherly people,” will be carried out by Abu Dhabi’s Department of Municipalities and Transport in collaboration with the Emirati Palestinian Friendship Club.
After months of escalating violence in the occupied West Bank, Huwara, a Palestinian town close to a major road crossing, has emerged as the latest flashpoint between Israelis and Palestinians.
