The 'UAE Humanitarian Ship' has set sail for the Gaza Strip, carrying 7,200 tonnes of vital aid as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.

The shipment includes 4,680 tonnes of food, 2,160 tonnes of shelter materials and winter clothing, along with 360 tonnes of medical supplies and four water tanks — all aimed at easing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The operation is a joint effort by UAE humanitarian and charitable organisations, reflecting the nation’s values of solidarity and compassion for those affected by conflict.
