President of the United Arab Emirates Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan pledged on Monday an urgent relief aid package worth $100 million to Lebanon, the state news agency WAM reported.

This initiative is part of the UAE’s continuous efforts to support Lebanon through its current challenges, underscoring the nation's unwavering commitment to assisting the Lebanese people, it added.

Lebanon's Health Ministry says more than 1,000 Lebanese have been killed and 6,000 wounded in the past two weeks in a wave of intensified Israeli attacks on militant targets in the country, part of a conflict now also stretching from the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the occupied West Bank, to Yemen, and in Israel itself.

In a statement to the Saudi Press Agency, MWL Secretary General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa praised the historic initiative, announced by Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah on behalf of the Arab and Islamic countries, and European partners.

He urged all countries to join the initiative, which will contribute to reaching a just and comprehensive peace in the region, with a positive impact on the world.

Al-Issa expressed great appreciation for the great efforts exerted by the Kingdom, and for the historic progress achieved by its continuous, active drive, around the world, to mobilize international partners to support the Palestinian cause.
