Three convoys loaded with various humanitarian aid from the UAE crossed into the Gaza Strip this week through the Rafah Border Crossing in Egypt.

The effort is part of the UAE's ongoing mission to support and assist the Palestinian as they continue to face a dire humanitarian situation from the 14 month long war with Israel.

The convoys consist of 30 trucks loaded with over 495.1 tonnes of humanitarian aid, including food supplies, winter clothing, and other essential items.

This brings the total number of aid convoys that have entered Gaza to 144, part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, consisting of 1,273 trucks.

To date, the UAE has provided more than 28,002.5 tonnes of aid to the Palestinian people through this initiative, trying to help alleviate the harsh conditions faced by Gaza's residents and address their essential needs.

The UAE remains committed to providing humanitarian support to the people of Gaza, mitigating the challenges they face, and ensuring the provision of necessities to the vulnerable.
