NRC continuously aims at strengthening and building up partnerships with global humanitarian actors with a goal to maximize effective ways to alleviate the suffering of the most vulnerable refugees and displaced populations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am happy to announce that NRC has been officially registered in the IHC. This will strengthen our on-going work with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) actors with whom NRC is developing institutional partnerships. Together, I believe we can assist more people in need,\u201d\u009d the acting Secretary General of NRC, Ms. Toril Brekke said.<\/p>\n<p>The IHC was established by HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai in 2003 and grown to become the world\u2019s largest and busiest logistics hub for humanitarian aid with 9 UN agencies and 44 NGOs and commercial entities.<\/p>\n<p>The International Humanitarian City is a first-of-its kind global humanitarian hub. It puts Dubai\u2019s expertise in transport and logistics to work for aid agencies as they reach out to help the victims of crises and families whose lives are scarred by hunger and poverty.
