WAM

The UAE, in coordination with Jordan, has continued its humanitarian airdrop missions over Gaza under the 'Birds of Goodness' initiative.

On Wednesday, July 30, the 57th airdrop was completed, marking the fourth consecutive day of operations, targeting hard-to-reach areas where ground access remains severely limited.

These efforts are part of 'Operation Chivalrous Knight 3', reflecting the UAE’s commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and easing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Since the start of the initiative, 3,775 tonnes of aid have been delivered via 196 aircraft.

Alongside the airdrops, the UAE also sent 58 aid trucks into Gaza on Wednesday through multiple land crossings.

The wider relief effort also includes extending a water pipeline from desalination plants to help improve daily living conditions in the territory.
