Prominent landmarks across the UAE were lit up on Monday, with the campaign slogan 'UAE Stands with Lebanon,' accompanied by the Lebanese flag and map.

Iconic structures, including the Burj Khalifa, Mubadala Tower, and ADNOC Building, among others, participated in this display of fraternal sentiment and shared unity.

The campaign in support of Lebanon was launched as per the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the follow-up of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court, and under the supervision of His Highness Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Development and Fallen Heroes' Affairs and Chair of the International Humanitarian and Philanthropic Council.
