Human Appeal International U.A.E., HAI, has implemented an initiative in the Palestinian territories in response to U.A.E. Suqia, launched by Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to deliver safe drinking water to five million people around the world.
