Emirati diplomat who helped deliver aid to Gaza enters UN secretary general race
Emirati diplomat Lana Nusseibeh, known for coordinating humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza, has announced her candidacy for United Nations secretary‑general. She secured an endorsement from the Palestinian leadership, yet her campaign is challenged by concerns about the United Arab Emirates' human‑rights practices and accusations that the UAE financed Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces. The race adds a new contender from the Middle East.
