The UAE has sent an aircraft carrying 68 tonnes of food supplies and relief aid to the Egyptian city of Al Areesh to be transported into the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border crossing.
The shipment was dispatched in cooperation with the UN World Food Programme.
It's part of the UAE’s 'Tarahum - for Gaza' campaign, which aims to ease the suffering of the Palestinian people affected by the ongoing conflict.
The campaign will also organise aid collection drives in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah this weekend to prepare 25,000 relief packages with the support of volunteers.
Those wishing to volunteer to help prepare relief packages can register through several platforms, including Volunteers.Emirates, the Emirates Red Crescent’s Volunteers Portal, the Day for Dubai Platform, and the Sharjah Volunteering Centre.
