The Dar Al Ber Society launched an urgent and comprehensive humanitarian relief campaign for Somalia under the title 'Somalia.... Our concern is one', in the face of the famine that struck parts of the country during the past few days.

Dar Al Ber has made an open appeal to donors and philanthropists to participate in supporting the humanitarian charitable campaign, by adopting any of the projects and initiatives included in the campaign, and contributing to its success and achieving its goals, leading to relief of the afflicted country, and extending hands of mercy to the afflicted there, and alleviating the suffering of the various segments of Somali society, who have been affected by the repercussions of the famine, and to provide their urgent food and living needs.

Humanitarian Projects Package:
Dr. Muhammad Suhail Al Muhairi, CEO and Managing Director of Dar Al Ber, said: "The campaign is based on a comprehensive relief plan, which includes a set of charitable projects currently being offered, which are targeted by the Society within the framework of the campaign, and include water irrigation projects, which provide water tanks for those in need across the country, providing food baskets, purchasing blankets for the displaced, a project to own cows for the benefit of poor families, a project to build water tanks, and a project to provide amenities bags for small babies. Also, the project management in Dar Al Ber Society is currently working on monitoring and studying other needs for the afflicted Somali people".

A Helping hand:
Dr. Al Muhairi pointed out that the initiative of the Dar Al Ber Society, which falls under the umbrella of national humanitarian work and the charitable and relief efforts of the UAE, came in light of Somalia's official entry into famine, while the country's president recently sent an urgent distress call to the world, where death threatens millions of people, children, women, the sick, and the elderly, as a result of drought and lack of rain. According to international reports, more than 7 million Somalis, or about half of the population, are facing severe food shortages, in light of the devastating impact of the drought.

Standing with the afflicted:
Dr. Al Muhairi said that the Dar Al Ber Society always stands with Somalia, and all afflicted countries and people, and who are in need of a helping hand, sincere hearts and people of great determination to do good and support the weak, in a manner that embodies the system of values, morals and traditions, on which the people of the Emirates and those residing on its good land have grown up upon.

A civilized message and a human approach:
The CEO of Dar Al Ber stressed that the new humanitarian relief campaign comes in compliance with the values and teachings of the religion, and is an implementation of the UAE's approach and its civilized humanitarian policy in the field of humanitarian work, and in response to the directives of our wise leadership in helping and relieving the poor and needy around the world, and an embodiment of the inherited human values and traditions of the UAE.
