Five convoys carrying aid from UAE enter Gaza in one week

Five convoys carrying a total of 800 tonnes of aid, sent from the UAE, entered Gaza this week. The supplies, part of Operation Gallant Knight 3, included food, medicine, and materials for shelter. According to state news agency Wam, the aid was dispatched in 75 lorries to address the essential needs and bolster the humanitarian response within Gaza.

The campaign remains committed to preparing aid convoys through the UAE humanitarian aid logistics centre in Al Arish, overseen by an integrated system for receiving, sorting, preparing, and dispatching assistance. The continuous aid deliveries aim to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people and provide urgent humanitarian support.

The UAE's Operation Gallant Knight 3 reaffirms its ongoing humanitarian efforts in response to the Gaza war, which began in October 2023. Since the operation's launch, the UAE has provided over Dh14.2 billion ($3.89 billion) in aid, including a floating hospital in Egypt and two medical centers in Gaza. The Step of Hope programme, initiated in June, has fitted prosthetic limbs for 72 Palestinian amputees.
