Bahrain said yesterday that residents could register as volunteers to aid war efforts in sectors including health, engineering, logistics and administration, as Iran pressed on with its Gulf retaliation campaign.

Iran has lashed out with missile and drone strikes on countries from the Gulf to Israel since the US and Israel launched a massive air campaign.

It has targeted US military assets in Bahrain as well as the airport, residential buildings and hotels, killing one civilian.

“Those wishing to volunteer can register for the “Bahrain is Safe... As Long as You Are Its People” campaign through the National Volunteer Platform, volunteer.gov.bh,” the statement said.

Opportunities

“Volunteer opportunities have been identified in various fields, including health, engineering, logistics, administration, oversight, and other areas,” it added.

More than half of Bahrain’s population of roughly 1.5 million is comprised of foreigners, and the volunteer drive is open to citizens and foreigners alike.

The website calls on volunteers to “support the national efforts in confronting the hostile Iranian attacks against the Kingdom of Bahrain”.
