In addition to the airdrop, 20 trucks loaded with 540 tonnes of food supplies entered Gaza through land crossings, as part of the UAE’s ongoing efforts to secure vital supplies by land and air.

With this operation, the total volume of aid airdropped by the UAE has reached more than 3,908 tonnes of various relief items, including food and essential supplies, underscoring its sustained commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and bolstering their resilience.
