UAE steps up Gaza relief with major aid shipment

WAM

A UAE aid ship carrying 2,100 tonnes of humanitarian supplies has arrived to support the people of Gaza, as part of the country’s ongoing relief efforts under 'Operation Chivalrous Knight 3'.

The shipment includes large quantities of flour, food items, and essential relief packages for women and children. It aims to ease the worsening humanitarian crisis in the territory.

The vessel docked at Israel’s Port of Ashdod and will transfer its cargo into Gaza via 123 trucks.

This latest delivery follows an earlier convoy in June that brought 1,039 tonnes of aid.

The UAE says it remains committed to combating famine and supporting Gaza’s residents through sustained humanitarian action, guided by the nation’s leadership and principles of solidarity.
