Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates: In line with the UAE leadership's directive to empower Emirati youth, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MoHESR) has formed its Youth Council to boost the involvement of the young generation in enhancing institutional work and government performance.

It will also launch initiatives proposed by young people at the Ministry, strengthening their contributions to improving the work environment.
The Youth Council comprises 14 members from various departments within the Ministry. It is chaired by Rashid Karam Jalal Al Kaabi, Head of the Attachés and Support for Scholarship Students Department, with Mona Hassan Ali Al Shehhi serving as Vice President. Members include Fatima Ahmed Obaid Al Hammadi, Saleh Saif Mohammed Al Ameer, Maryam Fouad Ahmed Al Hammadi, Jawaher Obaid Sultan Al Janahi, Fatima Salem Saif Al Ghafli, Mohamed Khalifa Mohamed Saeed Al Qubaisi, Israa Abdul Karim Abdullah Al Ansari, Aisha Nasser Saeed Al Mazrouei, Hilal Hamdan Saif Al Busaidi, Sarah Mohammed Saeed Al Mansouri, Naema Salem Saeed Al Marzouqi, and Lulwa Ali Mohammed Al Tamimi.
This initiative reflects MoHESR's commitment to promoting direct engagement with all segments of society, particularly youth. By involving young people in policymaking and initiative development, the Ministry is cultivating national talent capable of driving creativity, spearheading innovation, and contributing to sustainable development.

UAE sends 38 aid trucks to Gaza through Rafah crossing

A convoy of Emirati humanitarian aid trucks has entered the Gaza Strip via the Rafah border crossing, as part of the UAE's ongoing 'Operation Chivalrous Knight 3' relief mission. The convoy included 38 trucks, with 18 carrying essential supplies such as food, medical aid and infant formula. The remaining 20 trucks delivered equipment for a new water pipeline that will connect a UAE-built desalination plant in Egypt to displacement zones in Gaza between Rafah and Khan Younis. The pipeline will span 7 km and produce 2 million gallons of water per day. This follows an earlier delivery of 25 trucks, bringing the total number of vehicles supporting the water infrastructure project to 45, with all necessary components now in place. Meanwhile, the UAE has resumed its 'Birds of Goodness' aid airdrop missions to provide critical relief to the people of Gaza.

Video: UAE aid trucks enter Gaza day after air drop resumes amid deadly starvation

A convoy of Emirati humanitarian aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip today through the Rafah border crossing, as part of the UAE's ongoing efforts to support and provide relief to the Palestinian people under the 'Operation Chivalrous Knight 3' humanitarian mission. This comes a day after the Emirates resumed its 'Birds of Goodness' airdrop missions along with Jordan, with the planes dropping 25 tonnes of humanitarian aid over the Gaza Strip. The convoy that entered on July 28 consisted of 38 trucks, including 18 loaded with food supplies, medical aid, and infant formula, and 20 trucks carrying pipes, tanks, and equipment to support the operation of a new water pipeline. This pipeline will stretch approximately 7km, connecting the UAE-established desalination plant in Egypt to the displacement zones between the Palestinian cities of Rafah and Khan Younis, with a production capacity of 2 million gallons per day. An earlier convoy of 25 trucks had entered yesterday, carrying water pipes and essential equipment for the pipeline. This brings the total number of trucks transporting materials for the water infrastructure project to 45, with all necessary components now delivered and preparations underway for the project's implementation. On Saturday, July 26, UAE's Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan confirmed the Emirates would immediately resume airdrop operations to Gaza as part of its ongoing humanitarian mission. In a statement posted, the minister said the humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached a critical and unprecedented level, underscoring the urgent need for sustained international aid efforts. The UAE has also affirmed its support for the Palestinian people and stated that it will remain a humanitarian priority, and it will continue to coordinate with regional and international partners to ensure that aid reaches the areas most in need by all means — land, sea, and air. The UAE's aid has accounted for more than 44 per cent of the total international aid reaching the Gaza Strip. The airdrop initiative is to support civilians in isolated areas of the Strip that are inaccessible by land. The total amount of food and relief supplies dropped over the Gaza Strip since the launch of the 'Birds of Goodness' initiative, using 193 aircraft, amounts to approximately 3,725 tons. These supplies included basic food supplies and vital supplies to meet the needs of families affected by the difficult and catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the Strip.
