UAE aid convoy reaches Gaza to support displaced Palestinians

WAM

An aid convoy carrying humanitarian supplies from the UAE entered the Gaza Strip on Monday through the Rafah border crossing.

The aid is part of the UAE's ongoing humanitarian efforts under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, reiterating the UAE's commitment to assisting Palestinians.

The convoy included eight trucks carrying over 100 tonnes of flour, four water tankers with a capacity of 5,000 gallons each, and two sewage tankers.

With the latest delivery, the number of aid convoys entering Gaza as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 has reached 138, each consisting of approximately eight trucks.

To date, the UAE aid delivered under the operation has exceeded 27,205 tonnes, which entered through land crossings and contributed to alleviating the severity of the conditions suffered by the people of the Gaza Strip and relieving the suffering of the most vulnerable groups.

Through Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, the UAE continues to foster its humanitarian and relief efforts in Gaza. The initiative aims to ease the hardships of displaced Palestinian families by implementing relief projects that address economic and living challenges.
