Dubai Duty Free donates AED2-mn to support earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria
Airport retailer Dubai Duty Free has donated AED2 million to Emirates Red Crescent’s ‘Bridges of Goodness’ campaign to support earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria.
The fund will be used to support both nations with urgent humanitarian relief, which includes food supplies and medicines, and to fund relocation for families affected by the natural calamity.
Commenting on the donation Dubai Duty Free’s Executive Vice Chairman & CEO McLoughlin said: “Since we started our Foundation in October 2004, we have been working with several local and international charities on similar emergency and calamity projects over the years. This great initiative, which follows the quick response from our nation’s leaders, provides organisations like us the opportunity to support a major humanitarian effort that will directly benefit the displaced families and children who were affected by the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.”
