The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) continued distributing winter clothes and food meals to the people of the Gaza Strip as part of UAE's Operation “Gallant Knight 3”.

It was launched under the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to support the Palestinian people.

The ERC teams distributed 80,993 pieces of winter clothes to residents of several areas in the Gaza Strip.

In the context of its humanitarian relief efforts, the ERC continues to operate 16 charity kitchens to distribute meals to the displaced persons in the governorates of the Gaza Strip. The distribution of meals covered 8,000 families, including 32,000 individuals, while the total number of beneficiaries of the food programme reached 112,993.
