UAE convoys deliver 663 tonnes of food and shelter supplies to Gaza in latest mission

The United Arab Emirates dispatched five more humanitarian aid convoys to Gaza, carrying a total of 663 tonnes of supplies. These lorries, comprising 75 vehicles, were loaded near the Egyptian border and transported food and shelter materials to the war-stricken enclave. The UAE's humanitarian team in Al Arish, Egypt, prepared and loaded these convoys, aiming to support the Palestinian people suffering from the conflict.

State news agency Wam highlighted the UAE's unwavering commitment to humanitarian efforts, reaffirming its long-standing approach to providing relief in times of crisis. Since the launch of Operation Gallant Knight 3 on November 5, 2023, the UAE has remained at the forefront of aid deliveries, surpassing 1,000 days of continuous support.

The country has contributed over Dh14.2 billion ($3.89 billion) in aid during this period, which has funded the establishment of a floating hospital in Egypt, two medical centers in Gaza, and the Step of Hope program, which has provided prosthetic limbs to 51 Palestinian amputees.
