10 million meals, as a part of the '100 Million Meals' campaign will be distributed to individuals in the UAE.
The meals will be distributed in partnership with the UAE Food Bank.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, launched the '100 Million Meals' campaign in April, in an effort to provide food parcels for families and individuals in need across 30 countries.
Over 112,000 food parcels mounting up to Dhs 13.4 million will be distributed by the UAE Food Bank’s logistical distribution network.
Each meal package weighs around 42kg of basic food items and will provide a person with enough food for 30 days.
1,000 volunteers, along with UAE Food Bank staff, will distribute the meals while adhering to the precautionary measures.
Dr Essam Sharaf Al Hashemi, a member of the Steering and Operation Committee of the Emirates Food Bank and Director of the Food Trade Control Department in Dubai Municipality said, "The role of the Emirates Food Bank complements the efforts undertaken by the UAE for aid at the regional and international levels, by distributing food to the targeted groups of needy families and workers within the country. The bank is cooperating with charitable societies to reach out to all targeted groups in the country and translate the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum for delivery of food to targeted groups."
