The ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed, stopped his car to greet the volunteers giving out an evening iftar.
A video appeared on social networks in which His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Ibn Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president, prime minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, welcomed the volunteers.
A charity event in Ajman has been held every Ramadan since 2012. As part of this program, volunteers give out iftar to drivers on the road and at intersections before the evening prayer.
According to police, most accidents in Ramadan occur shortly before the evening meal.
Last year, six people died in Dubai, three of which were hit by cars.
“Many drivers rush to Iftar home after work, exceeding speed. Such a rush often leads to accidents and accidents,” said Major General Al Zafeyn, head of the Federal Road Traffic Council and assistant police chief of Dubai.
"People who are nervous about refusing food or smoking often make mistakes that lead to accidents," the officer added.
