UAE steps up Gaza relief efforts as winter storm intensifies

WAM

The UAE’s humanitarian mission in the Gaza Strip is stepping up relief efforts as winter storms worsen conditions for displaced families.

Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 has deployed emergency teams to pump floodwater from streets and damaged tents after heavy rain hit the area.

During the cold snap, the UAE distributed over 1,100 shelter tents, more than 4,000 winter jackets and hundreds of relief kits.

Additional supplies included 5,000 clothing parcels and 1,400 blankets to help families cope with severe weather.

Officials say these efforts reflect the UAE’s commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and easing their suffering amid challenging circumstances.
