Sporting a T-shirt that said 'Thank You UAE', Sabeel Ismail, a 40-year-old Indian resident, walked from Dubai to Ras Al Khaimah to express his gratitude to the UAE leadership in providing aid to the flood-hit Kerala.
The floods, which took place in India's southern state in August this year, had claimed the lives of 483 people. Though his home and family were not directly affected by the floods, he was devastated by the damage left behind by the calamity. "My home is in Kakkanad, Ernakulam. It was not directly affected, but the areas nearby were badly damaged," he told Khaleej Times.
Ismail, a walking enthusiast, has ambitions to cover all seven emirates eventually. However, the first leg of his journey was from Dubai to RAK.
Ismail started his walk at Zaabeel Park in Dubai at 6pm on a Thursday and reached Ajman at 1.30am. He covered an impressive 104km in a matter of 27 hours. "I took my first break after I completed 40km. I began my journey with a backpack which carried a pair of clothes and shoes, and I had stored plenty of water. There are no shops in the industrial areas, so water was a must," he said.
