The Ahmed bin Zayed Foundation has pledged Dh3 million to support the UAE's Step of Hope programme, which aims to provide aid to Palestinian amputees in Gaza. The programme is part of Operation Gallant Knight 3, established by the UAE in response to the war that began in October 2023. Mohammed Al Shareef, spokesman for Operation Gallant Knight 3, stated that the donation will play a vital role in alleviating Palestinian suffering.
The UAE has contributed over $4 billion in aid to Gaza, making up 56% of the total global aid. The campaign has sent more than 130,000 tonnes of aid to Gaza and provided medical treatment to over 176,000 Palestinians. The Step of Hope programme has fitted prosthetic limbs for 72 Palestinian amputees. Sheikh Zayed bin Saif emphasized that safeguarding human life is a part of the UAE's identity and path.
The UAE's support for Gaza was highlighted during the Emirates Loves Palestine community event in Dubai, which attracted over 50,000 attendees.
