Five Emirati convoys comprising 100 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered the Gaza Strip this week via the Rafah Border Crossing, as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.

The convoys carried more than 1,442 tonnes of humanitarian aid, including food supplies, relief packages, shelter tents, and other essential needs.

The UAE humanitarian aid team based in Egypt's Al Arish supervised its delivery through the Rafah Border Crossing, ensuring it reached the beneficiaries in Gaza.

The Official in Charge of Humanitarian Aid at Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, Sultan Al Kaabi, stated that the presence of their humanitarian teams ensures that aid materials enter the Gaza Strip and reach the maximum number of beneficiaries.

Since the start of the ceasefire, the UAE has intensified its humanitarian efforts, significantly increasing aid operations to support the Palestinian people in the face of the difficult humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip.

As of now, the total number of aid convoys entering Gaza under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 has reached 160 convoys, with a total of approximately 31,026 tonnes of humanitarian assistance, making a significant contribution to alleviating the humanitarian situation and easing the suffering of the most vulnerable groups while providing them with essential needs.
