A number of UAE personalities, including TV and radio presenters, have also joined the campaign since it was launched on April 11, right before Ramadan.
On Wednesday, the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives announced it had received more than Dh86.8 million in donations, and that it is approaching 90 per cent of its target.
Donations have poured in from far and wide, from businesses and high-profile figures to caring members of the public, to provide help where it is needed most.
Poor families, refugees, orphans and widows in Jordan, Egypt and Pakistan have started receiving ingredients that will help them prepare meals throughout the holy month.
