UAE relief operations continue in Gaza

UAE continues its relief efforts to support Palestinians

United Arab Emirates, under the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, continues its humanitarian and relief efforts for the Palestinian people and provides all forms of support and assistance to alleviate the burden of the humanitarian suffering they are going through as a result of the war in the Gaza Strip.

A UAE aid ship carrying 4,016 tonnes of humanitarian supplies had arrived in Al Arish City in preparation for its entry to Gaza, as part of the “Gallant Knight 3” operation.

The ship, which departed from the port of Fujairah, carried 3,465 tonnes of food supplies, 420 tonnes of shelter materials, as well as 131 tonnes of medical aid that was provided by the Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation and the Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation, in addition to the Emirates Red Crescent.

Up until December 13, the UAE has sent more than 7,126 tonnes of aid via 105 aircraft and more than 51 trucks under Operation “Gallant Knight 3”.

More medical workers have left the UAE for Gaza to help people injured by the conflict with Israel. Nine volunteers make up the third batch who will join other doctors and nurses to care for Palestinians.

In the past two weeks, the UAE's field hospital in the Gaza Strip, which has 150 beds, has treated 291 cases from first aid and medication to surgery and intensive care, state news agency Wam reported.

The hospital was opened on December 2 as part of the Gallant Knight 3 humanitarian operation ordered by President Sheikh Mohamed.

the UAE's aid and rapid response to the difficult humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip reflect the country's long-standing humanitarian commitment to supporting the Palestinian people through a humanitarian drive that reflects the UAE's fraternal position and its firm approach to supporting the Palestinian people under all circumstances.
