More aid convoy from UAE enters Gaza Strip

WAM

A UAE aid convoy carrying more than 195 tonnes of critical winter supplies has entered the Gaza Strip.

It's the 249th convoy under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.

The convoy of 15 trucks delivered 2,250 shelter tents in urgent response to the harsh conditions faced by Palestinians in Gaza amid recent cold waves and rainfall.

The delivery was prepared by the UAE's humanitarian aid team for Gaza in Al Arish at the logistics centre, where the team receives, stores and organises aid shipments to ensure their continuous and orderly delivery to the Gaza Strip.

Fahad Saleh Al Harthi, head of the UAE humanitarian aid team for Gaza in Al Arish, pointed out that maintaining the regularity of the convoys is a top priority to ensure the continued flow of humanitarian support to Palestinians at a time when they need every form of assistance.

The operation has provided more than 20,000 shelter tents for affected families to date, in addition to the continuous delivery of food, medical, and relief aid convoys.
