The UAE has provided aid baskets with clothing, food, and relief supplies, for women and children in Gaza.

It's part of the country's on-going humanitarian support to Palestinians through Operation Gallant Knight 3.

They were delivered via air drops and at the Rafah crossing.

The initiative, in collaboration with the Emirates Red Crescent, emphasises the UAE's commitment to supporting Palestinian women and children during the on-going crisis.
