Established in 2003, Dubai Humanitarian is the world's largest humanitarian hub, the world's only humanitarian free zone hosting a diverse community comprising dozens of United Nations agencies, non-profit and non-governmental organisations, as well as commercial companies. It was formed through the merger of Dubai Aid City and Dubai Humanitarian City.
Located 10 minutes away from the Jebel Ali seaport and Al Maktoum airport, Dubai Humanitarian enables the humanitarian community to reach within 4-8 hours two-thirds of the world population living in hazard-prone areas. The hub operates more than 150,000 square metres of warehouses and offices including showrooms and an open yard. The organization hosts around 80 members with the international humanitarian community in Dubai consisting of about 500 people representing more than 68 nationalities.
