30-tonne UAE aid shipment reaches Gaza to combat malnutrition

WAM

A humanitarian aid convoy provided by the UAE's Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qasimi Foundation for Charity and Humanitarian Work has entered the Gaza Strip under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, carrying vital therapeutic and preventive supplies for children and women.

The 30-tonne shipment arrived earlier in the Egyptian city of Al Arish by private aircraft, where UAE humanitarian teams oversaw its reception, storage and preparation in line with approved safety and sorting procedures before it was transferred into Gaza.

The aid includes internationally approved nutritional products designed to address malnutrition, particularly among vulnerable groups.

Endorsed by UNICEF, the supplies contain natural nutritional compounds fortified with essential vitamins, minerals and fatty acids.

The shipment is expected to benefit approximately 20,000 children and women, helping improve recovery prospects and reduce health risks linked to malnutrition.
