Abu Dhabi, UAE– The UAE has dispatched a second consignment of household generators for the Ukrainian civilians affected by the ongoing war with Russia.
In December, the UAE announced that it’s sending 2,500 household generators to civilians affected by the ongoing crisis in Ukraine that has disrupted energy infrastructure and caused power outages, with the objective of helping them survive the harsh winter conditions.
The first consignment of the assistance which comprised 1200 generators was sent last month, while the rest was delivered today.

The support comes within the $100 million humanitarian relief aid allocated by the UAE to the civilians affected by the crisis in Ukraine.
It stems from the UAE’s belief in the importance of human solidarity, especially in cases of conflict, and falls within the country’s ethical commitment toward dispute-affected peoples in various parts of the world.
