Five convoys carrying vital humanitarian aid from the UAE crossed into the Gaza Strip through Egypt's Rafah Crossing, this week, as part of 'Operation Chivalrous Knight 3'.

The convoys, which include 47 trucks, are delivering over 661 tonnes of supplies, including food, nutritional supplements for children, dates, shelter tents, flour, clothing, and five ambulances.

This brings the total number of aid convoys that have entered Gaza to 137, with 1,205 trucks in total.

The UAE's humanitarian assistance to Gaza has now exceeded 27,000 tonnes, providing essential relief to those suffering from the ongoing crisis.

The continued support aims to alleviate the hardships faced by the Palestinian people, ensuring critical aid reaches the most vulnerable communities.
