Abstract
This study aimed to explore the role of humanitarian aid provided by the United Arab Emirates in promoting the values of tolerance and peace at both local and international levels by supporting communities affected by crises. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach using a questionnaire distributed to a sample of 200 individuals from the Emirati community, in addition to a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews with 7 experts and specialists. The study instrument included a questionnaire comprising demographic data and a scale to assess the role of humanitarian aid, whose validity and reliability were verified using Cronbach's Alpha and expert review. When analyzing the interviews, open and axial coding methods were used to extract ideas and themes. The questionnaire findings showed an overall mean score of 3.91, confirming that the Emirati community highly values the role of humanitarian aid in alleviating tensions and promoting tolerance. This reflects societal awareness of the importance of such aid in fostering understanding and peaceful coexistence. On the other hand, the experts noted that Emirati aid is a global model for increasing stability and security for beneficiary communities since this aid also contains awareness messages and promotes the culture of coexistence. According to these findings, the study recommended increasing global awareness of the importance of humanitarian aid in spreading tolerance and peace. In addition, it emphasized focusing on the sustainability of long-term humanitarian programs and strengthening partnerships with international organizations to guarantee that assistance benefits the maximum number of impacted individuals.
