Mohammed Al Muallem, CEO and Managing Director, DP World, UAE Region, said:
“The Holy Month of Ramadan is a time to remember the importance of giving, tolerance and prosperity. Under the wise leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai has become a city where millions of people from different cultures can coexist and work in a safe and harmonious environment, serving as a beacon for the rest of the world.
Due to the strong values present in Emirati society, this has been possible, and DP World is proud to be able to serve our city and nation by promoting these core values, that in turn will leave a positive impact on our people and society.”

In addition, over 2,000 iftar boxes distributed daily to truck drivers entering and exiting Jebel Ali Port and Free Zone, while the Sahem Initiative supported 9,000 families and workers receiving Sahem boxes filled with food items contributed by the Free Zone staff.
