Invoking the message accompanying the contribution from Her Highness which said, ““Dear mothers of Lebanon, our hearts are with you in all circumstances and times. The UAE was and still is with Lebanon, hoping for stability and security," the Minister added that the gesture of Her Highness was a great humanitarian one, and that the message expressed the deep feelings of Emirati society, its leadership, and government.
