<h2><u>UAE role in helping poor people: </u></h2>
UAE launched a Food Bank in 2017 as a government service aimed to provide food to the poor and the underprivileged. The initiative also aims to reduce food wasted each year from hotels and supermarkets while promoting charity and humanitarianism.
During the first year of establishment, 240 food shops, 96 hotels and & charity organizations joined in on the initiative. There is also an app that aims to manage this initiative more easily. In 2019, more than 120,000 iftars of food were distributed to the needy.
