LONDON, 4th June, 2026 (WAM) -- Mansoor Abulhoul, UAE Ambassador to the United Kingdom, visited young patients receiving medical treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) in London on the occasion of Eid Al Adha.
During the visit, which coincided with the first day of Eid, Abulhoul also met with Emirati children and their families, extending Eid greetings and sharing in the spirit of the occasion. In keeping with Eid traditions, children received gifts, bringing joy and comfort to the young patients and their families.
Speaking on the occasion, Mansoor Abulhoul said, "Eid Al Adha is a special time that embodies the values of compassion, solidarity, and generosity. We are pleased to spend this time with these brave young patients receiving treatment in the United Kingdom and sharing this special moment with their families.
