He added, “There is a real humanitarian crisis due to hunger and food security.. And the campaign of one billion meals is its motto. Those who are full and their neighbor are hungry, do not believe in me. We have one billion noble humanitarian messages from the Emirates to the world.”

This campaign is “the largest in the region to provide food support for up to one billion meals to the poor and hungry in 50 countries, starting from the first month of Ramadan,” and aims to build on “the qualitative results achieved by the previous Ramadan campaign, which distributed 220 million meals, as the number will be completed up to to a billion meals.

The One Billion Meals campaign contributes to “fighting hunger and malnutrition in the world, especially among vulnerable groups of women, children, refugees, displaced people, and victims of disasters and crises,” according to the Emirates News Agency, WAM.

On the expansion of the initiative, ways to confront hunger throughout the year, he explained: “The world is going through challenges in providing food security for humans, and our mission is to support our brothers in humanity to save them from hunger.”
