SHARJAH: Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA), represented by the Services and Technical Support Department for Information and Communication Technology, received a global certificate from the international organisation ‘PrintReleaf Standard’, in recognition of its distinguished efforts in contributing to achieving sustainable development and preserving the environment.

SEWA launched an initiative in cooperation with Xerox Emirates to participate in the global reforestation programme approved by the organisation. During the planting of trees in exchange for the papers that are printed, SEWA achieved outstanding results within the programme and was able to plant 115 trees from 1st January to 31st May 2024.

Majid Huraimel Al Shamsi, Director of SEWA General Department of Institutional Support, received the certificate from Mahmoud Al Yahya, General Manager of Xerox UAE, on behalf of ‘PrintReleaf Standard’.

Majid Huraimel Al Shamsi explained that the SEWA obtaining this certificate from an inte
rnational organisation confirms the Authority’s keenness to preserve the environment and support purposeful initiatives and confirms its commitment to its societal responsibility and its interest in important issues, in implementation of the vision and directives of H.H. Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah to commit to social responsibility and provide all the necessary elements to preserve the environment and achieve sustainability.

reas ‘PrintReleaf Standard’ programme relies on afforestation in a number of regions in many world countries based on the number of papers used in printing.

Gaza – Ma’an – The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that the smell of blood permeates the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, after the Al-Mawasi massacre committed by the occupation army, amid the failure of ventilation systems due to the lack of electricity and fuel.

This was stated by Scott Anderson, Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator and Deputy Director of UNRWA Affairs in Gaza, in a statement, after a visit he made to the Nasser Medical Complex.

He added: “During my visit to the Nasser complex, I witnessed some of the most horrific scenes I have seen during the nine months I spent in the Strip.”

Describing the situation as an ‘overworked’ medical complex, Anderson said: ‘The complex has received more than 100 serious cases and patients are being treated on the floor, without disinfectants.’

He pointed out that “the smell of blood permeates the complex, while the ventilation systems are out of order due to the lack of electricity and fuel.”

Commenting on the
horror of what he saw there, the UN official said, ‘I saw small children with amputated limbs, and others paralyzed and unable to receive treatment.’

Anderson explained that his colleagues “from the humanitarian community are doing everything they can to increase medical capacity in the sector.”

“The obstacles to humanitarian operations prevent us from supporting the people of the Strip anywhere near the necessary location,” he added.
