With support from UAE-based charities, the shipment included quantities of essential food supplies to meet the needs of residents amid the difficult humanitarian conditions in the Strip.

The UAE also completed its 69th air drop of aid under Operation Birds of Goodness, national news agency Wam reported. 

The total volume of aid airdropped by the UAE has now reached more than 3,924 tonnes of various food and essential supplies.

It is part of the UAE’s ongoing efforts to deliver aid by land and air to help those severely impacted by the war.
