‘UAE authorities arrest two people for filming the fires’
Emirati authorities have, meanwhile, arrested two people for filming smoke billowing from the fires, the outlets also reported.
Jebel Ali, located in southwestern Dubai, is one of the UAE’s most important industrial, commercial, and logistics hubs.
The area is home to Jebel Ali Port and the Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza), a major industrial and trade zone established in 1985. Jafza currently hosts more than 11,000 companies from over 150 countries and is strategically connected to Jebel Ali Port, major highways, and Al Maktoum International Airport, making the area a key gateway for international trade.
