Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, has ordered tents to be sent to Gaza to shelter 50,000 individuals from the harsh winter weather. The initiative is being handled by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives Foundation and in partnership with the UAE's Operation Gallant Knight 3. Media reports on Tuesday highlighted the dire situation in Gaza, with Dr Anwar Gargash, a diplomatic adviser to the president, emphasizing the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
Dr Gargash lamented that the conditions in Gaza serve as a stark reminder of the scale of suffering and the urgent need for intensified relief efforts. The UAE, he stressed, remains committed to providing humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people, as stated in a recent X post by Dr Gargash. Last week, the UAE celebrated the three-year anniversary of Operation Gallant Knight 3, its largest humanitarian mission to Gaza, which has delivered over 136,000 tonnes of aid worth $4.16 billion.
Initiated on November 5, 2023, the operation has evolved from an emergency relief effort into a comprehensive humanitarian system addressing various needs in Gaza. The UAE's contribution accounts for approximately 46 percent of all international humanitarian aid reaching the enclave.
