The 244th UAE aid convoy has entered the Gaza Strip under the "Olive Children" initiative, which is dedicated to supporting orphans and securing their basic needs as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.
It consisted 22 trucks transporting about 426 tonnes of humanitarian aid, including clothing packages and supplies for children alongside food parcels, rice and shelter materials that meet the needs of affected families in the Strip.
The initiative was launched last Ramadan by Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, wife of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah and Chairperson of The Big Heart Foundation, in partnership with the Palestinian nonprofit "Taawon".
"Olive Children" aims to support more than 20,000 orphans in Gaza, ensuring their right to education, healthcare, psychological support and essential needs until they reach adulthood.
