"Hope Remains": UAE aid to Gaza spotlighted in global film

Real stories of aid and resilience

"Hope Remains" tells the real-life stories of individuals who have directly benefited from UAE aid, reflecting thousands of similar experiences. Through these stories, the documentary illustrates the UAE’s long-standing and heartfelt support for the Palestinian people.

Global recognition on discovery channel

The film premiered on the Discovery Channel, showcasing international recognition of the UAE’s humanitarian leadership. It emphasises the depth of the UAE’s assistance, which, as of November 2023, accounted for 42% of total humanitarian aid to Gaza—equivalent to $828 million.

Humanitarian values and national commitment

The documentary reveals the values of generosity, solidarity, and fraternity that define the UAE’s approach to aid. It includes personal testimonies from beneficiaries and insights from frontline aid workers, showing how Emirati initiatives have improved lives physically and emotionally.

Distribution in multiple formats and languages

"Hope Remains" will be released in Arabic and English through social media platforms and national TV channels throughout June. This effort aligns with the Council's strategy to shed light on the vital contributions of UAE humanitarian organisations globally.

Continuing a legacy of giving

The film follows last year’s series "On the Frontline," which documented UAE-led humanitarian efforts in Gaza, Egypt, and the UAE itself. These initiatives demonstrate the unity and compassion embedded in the UAE's national fabric.

A future-forward commitment to Gaza

Guided by the UAE’s wise leadership, humanitarian teams continue to work relentlessly to support Gaza, with a special focus on children—who make up nearly half the population. This mission remains a central part of the UAE’s commitment to standing by its brothers in times of crisis.
