Another UAE aid flight, carrying baby formula, medicines and clothing, has departed for Gaza from Ras Al Khaimah.

The 100 tonnes of relief supplies were organized by Emirates Red Crescent (ERC), the Emirati-Palestinian Friendship Club and Dar Al Ber Society.

It's part of the UAE's Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 campaign to ease the suffering of Palestinian families in Gaza.

Hammoud Al Afari, Relief Operations Coordinator for Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, said the UAE continues its humanitarian efforts to support Palestinians by mobilising its logistical and relief capabilities in cooperation with its partners.

It ensures the sustained delivery of humanitarian and medical aid to Gaza, helping meet civilians' essential needs, strengthen their resilience and alleviate the impact of the humanitarian crisis.
