The UAE has delivered more desperately needed aid to northern and southern Gaza through two border crossings, and is working on handing over more shipments, a senior official announced on Thursday.
Reem Al Hashimy, Minister of State for International Co-operation, said 150 tonnes of humanitarian goods entered Gaza over the past week, and 2,300 tonnes are set to be delivered to the ravaged enclave in the coming days.
12 UAE trucks carrying 150 tonnes of humanitarian aid entered Gaza through the Erez and Karam Abu Salem crossings – the first substantial delivery of aid this month, providing essential food supplies to support 30,000 people.
Since the start of the war on October 7 last year, the UAE has been among the largest donors of aid to Gaza, providing essential medical and food supplies. The Emirates has also established two hospitals, including one with a centre dedicated to providing prosthetic limbs for Palestinians.
