UAE delivers 65 tonnes of critical medical supplies for Gaza

The UAE has delivered 65 tonnes of essential medicines and aid supplies to WHO warehouses, in preparation for distribution to hospitals across the Gaza Strip. 

The shipment includes 11 trucks carrying critical supplies to ease the acute medical shortage in the Strip.

It comes after the UAE carried out the the 60th airdrop of humanitarian aid as part of the “Operation Birds of Goodness'' campaign. It aims to deliver critical relief to areas that are inaccessible by land due to current field conditions. Each drop includes a variety of food items and urgent humanitarian supplies. The total amount of aid airdropped has exceeded 3,807 tonnes, comprising various food and relief materials designated to assist Palestinians in the most severely affected areas.

Alongside the airdrops, the UAE also sent 58 aid trucks into Gaza last Wednesday through multiple land crossings.

The UAE's Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 campaign aims to provide multi-sectoral support to Palestinians in Gaza, including in food, shelter, education and healthcare.
