Dubai International Humanitarian City is the hub for humanitarian organizations and the businesses that support them.
Organizations include the World Health Organization, the United Nations Office for Refugees, the International Red Cross, the World Food Program and UNICEF. It was established in 2003 with a simple goal.
"The international humanitarian city was created by His Highness, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid, with a vision of the future and not of the present. We are talking about a city that has expanded its capacity from a warehouse in the center of the city. has quadrupled. So we are talking about more than 130,000 square meters of office areas and open spaces. Basically, the main infrastructure so that they can respond to any emergency that occurs internationally ", explains Khalid Alawadhi, Deputy Director General of the City International Humanitarian.
500 tons of aid
The International Humanitarian City is the world's largest aid center. Something that is useful not only in times of global crisis such as the coronavirus pandemic.
COVID-19: the most urgent help
The coronavirus remains the most pressing issue. Humanitarian City International has supplied 85 percent of the global material distributed by the World Health Organization as part of its medical response. Geographical location and logistics is crucial.
"Dubai is strategically located to respond to two-thirds of the world's population in less than eight hours of flight. It is essential to minimize the response time to any emergency," says Khalid Alawadhi.
In recent weeks, the president of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has made personal donations to help those most in need during the pandemic.
60 tonnes containing 450,000 personal protective items, including masks and suits, were shipped to UK hospitals.
In addition to 70 tons of essential food supplies for more than two thousand five hundred families in the Extremadura region, in Spain, and more than 20 tons of personal protective equipment and medical supplies to Bosnia and Herzegovina, including ventilators and tests.
In May, the International Humanitarian City announced the expansion of its facilities, allowing organizations to send more emergency supplies, something that was made possible thanks to international and local support.
"That is part of our nature and how people have been brought up in the UAE, I am not just talking about nationals, but about anyone who is a resident. They have taken the necessary humanitarian aspects to provide support.
We have been fortunate in the UAE because we have a good quality of life. But giving is much more important than just being comfortable.
This is why the Government of Dubai, and that of the United Arab Emirates in general, always says yes to any service or support that is needed. More than 20 flights have been made as a donation for Dubai in 2019 alone, "says Alawadhi.
As a medical, logistics and supply center, its original size has quadrupled. The next goal of aid organizations is to use technology to protect one billion people from health emergencies.
From the Latin foundation, the term foundation allows you to name the action and effect of the foundation (establish, create or build something). Therefore, the concept is identified with architecture and engineering.
I made this content to provide humanitarian aid with emergency, I really built this content with tears in my eyes and even more when I was organizing the following images below:
Help improve our world
An estimated 8,500 children die per day due to severe malnutrition and 160 million children suffering from rickets. But the other side of the malnutrition coin finds it at 42 million overweight. None of them grow healthily. The data collected in the second global nutrition report on Wednesday presented organizations with measures against hunger and saving children. "Malnutrition is not a problem that is only related to lack of access to
foods. It is a problem that must be related to health, "said Antonio Vargas, responsible for nutrition actions against hunger, which
Next to David Field, director of international cooperation Save the children, he presented at a press conference the findings of the report with 70 independent experts and coordinated by the International Institute for Food Policy Research (ipfri). "There are two ways to see the nutrition map: excess and default," he said outside the field. The excess that represents obesity, malnutrition by default. Malnutrition affects almost one in three people in the world, with 1.9 billion overweight adults and 794 million who have nutritional deficiencies. Malnutrition causes the severe death of one year to about three million children in the world (8,500 per day), and many die from "diseases related to poor nutrition, such as diarrhea, which can be easily prevented," according to field. "Of the 652 million children under the age of five in the world, 161 have" chronic malnutrition ", as a result of problems such as stunted growth (stunted growth) or underweight (wasted), especially those living in Sub-Saharan Africa: These problems not only affect the health and health systems of countries, but also inhibit development. According to Vargas, "10% of Malawi's GDP aims to alleviate problems related to chronic malnutrition. The eradication of hunger is a required action for the development of countries. "Despite these figures, Vargas said" there is news for optimism "since" today there are 96 million fewer children with chronic malnutrition 25 years ago and only one year 15 countries. "It could meet the malnutrition reduction targets set for 2025 by the World Health Assembly," but added that "progress could be much faster." In developed countries the problem is the opposite sign, excess
malnutrition. "There is concern for the safety of children, so that the edges of the tables in child care are rounded, but not so much for their nutrition. Obesity problems are one of the challenges that countries have developed." Regarding the data that arise from the report on the situation in Spain, Vargas said that there is "an increase in overweight and obesity, and an evident increase in diseases related to child overweight." "We must continue to pay special attention to growing obesity, a new nutritional threat to health of not saving any country in the world," he said. Because the problem of overweight is not limited to developed countries, "Honduras and Iran face obesity problems in their health systems that are not supported by their weakness." The figures are right for the experts, saying that "it is not normal for countries to dedicate 20% of their budget to health-related overweight
Problems that can be prevented Education in good nutrition is the key to the proper development of children. "Chronic diseases such as osteoarthritis or diabetes seem to be increasingly early and progressive throughout life," said the field, for whom "we must
begin to think that until 16 years old at least one child must have a healthy diet.
