UAE - More than 32,000 people have benefitted from 85 social initiatives organised by the Dubai Customs in the last nine months.

Resources have been maximised to ensure that the department would achieve the best results with every initiative, the authority said. Its Ghayath Volunteer Team has been active in helping frontliners at the Covid-19 screening centres in Dubai.

Other initiatives include its participation in the 10 Million Meals initiative, which aimed to provide food to those in need during the crisis. A number of awareness workshops were also organised to educate the public on the steps they need to take to curb the spread of the virus.
"Sustainability is our keyword when it comes to CSR initiatives," said Khalil Saqer bin Gharib, director of the corporate communication department.

"We made sure our initiatives reach out to as many beneficiaries as possible in different sectors," he added.
