‘The truest of heroes’
Emirati social media star Khalid Al Ameri and his wife Salama Mohamed have issued a heartfelt message to those on the frontline battling the coronavirus pandemic.
Echoing the #ThankYouHeroes campaign HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, launched last week, the couple expressed their deep thanks to the “incredible medical staff” working day and night to treat those who have contracted COVID-19.
“The launch of this campaign is to give our thanks and heartfelt gratitude to the incredible medical staff of the United Arab Emirates,” Al Ameri said in a video posted to his Instagram page, alongside his wife and their two sons.
“To the nurses, doctors, hospital administration working non-stop to ensure we’re healthy and safe,” Salama said.
“To the medical staff who go to work so we can stay at home,” Al Ameri added. “Showing us that in the hardest of times they are the truest of heroes.”
Salama finished the heartfelt message saying, “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you heroes.”
The couple’s two sons Khalifa and Abdulla also joined in to send their appreciation saying “thank you heroes” in the video.
Last week, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid shared an emotional video with his 10 million Twitter followers to launch the #ThankYouHeroes campaign, encouraging everyone to join together in recognising the fantastic efforts of medical staff and health authorities for protecting the public against coronavirus.
The video posted showcased the hectic scenes that take place inside the emergency departments of hospitals.
