The Joint Operations Command of the Ministry of Defence announced on Saturday the 33rd airdrop of humanitarian and relief aid as part of the "Birds of Goodness" operation.

Two C17 aircraft belonging to the UAE Air Force and two C295 aircraft belonging to the Egyptian Air Force participated.

The airdrop, carrying 82 tonnes of food and relief aid, took place over the northern Gaza Strip, bringing the total amount of aid to 2,107 tonnes since the beginning of the operation.

This brings the total amount of aid sent by the UAE to northern Gaza to over 2,477 tonnes, including both land shipments through the Kerem Shalom crossing and airdrops via “Birds of Goodness”.

The "Birds of Goodness" campaign is part of Operation “Chivalrous Knight 3” to support the Palestinian people in Gaza.
