Final Humaid Air Bridge aircraft carries 100 tonnes of aid for Gaza

The United Arab Emirates has sent its final Humaid Air Bridge aircraft, carrying 100 tonnes of food aid and more than 3,200 food parcels for delivery to Gaza.

The Humaid Air Bridge was part of the UAE's ongoing humanitarian efforts under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 to support the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and alleviate their humanitarian suffering.

It has now concluded after operating for nearly two months, delivering a total of 600 tonnes of relief and food supplies. 

The UAE humanitarian aid team in Al Arish, Egypt received the aircraft upon arrival, and the shipment was transferred to the UAE humanitarian aid logistics centre in Al Arish in preparation for entry into the Gaza Strip through approved mechanisms, ensuring the swift delivery of aid to beneficiaries and meeting the essential needs of affected families.

The Humaid Air Bridge is one of the humanitarian initiatives launched under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ajman, in cooperation with Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.

Since its launch, Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 has continued to play a humanitarian role in supporting the Palestinian people through multiple relief channels by air, land and sea.

The operation includes the delivery of food, medical and relief aid, alongside a range of healthcare and service initiatives, reflecting the UAE’s longstanding humanitarian approach in extending support to those in need during times of crisis.
