Even as the diplomatic row between Qatar and major Arab nation remains grim , UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan has instructed the concerned authorities to take into consideration the humanitarian circumstances of Emirati-Qatari joint families in recognition of the brotherly Qatari people.<br/><br/>UAE's State News Agency WAM reported that these measures are in line with the statement issued by the UAE that severed ties with the State of Qatar for the pretexts mentioned in the resolution and its procedures. The statement also underscored the UAE's commitment to the well being of the brotherly Qatari people as a natural extension of the brotherly UAE people.<br/><br/>Earlier this week, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Bahrain and some more Arab and African nations had severed diplomatic ties with Qatar accusing it of terror funding and creating instability in the region, a charge that Qatar denies. Following the severing of ties, UAE had asked all Qatar nationals to leave the country within 14 days and have also prohibited the Qatar people to even transit from its airports.<br/><br/>Many of the UAE nationals are married to people of Qatar origin.
