I'm writing to report an issue regarding the rendering of Arabic labels on the IFRC GO map. Currently, the Arabic labels are displayed in a manner that affects readability, appearing from left to right instead of the correct right-to-left orientation.

Issue Description:
The Arabic labels on the IFRC GO map are incorrectly rendered from left to right, impacting readability and causing confusion among users.

Expected Resolution:
Adjust the rendering of Arabic labels on the map to display in the correct right-to-left orientation, following the standard reading direction of the Arabic script.

Urgency:
This issue significantly affects the usability and comprehension of the IFRC GO platform for Arabic-speaking users. It is crucial to address this promptly to ensure a seamless and accurate user experience.

Thanks for the ticket @davidmuchatiza. It's always helpful to include a screenshot:

This is now Nepal is rendered but in fact it should be نيبال

@frozenhelium can we try wrapping the arabic strings in the applyArabicShaping method before adding to the label layer? https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-rtl-text#applyarabicshapingunicodeinput
