A convoy of aid from the UAE has reached the Gaza Strip through the Egyptian Rafah crossing as part of “Operation Chivalrous Knight 3” to provide support to the Palestinian people. The convoy, consisting of 12 trucks carrying over 264 tonnes of humanitarian aid, including food, water, and dates, is part of a larger effort that has seen a total of 440 aid trucks entering the Strip through this operation.

To date, the aid provided by the UAE to the Palestinian people under “Operation Chivalrous Knight 3” has surpassed 22,436 tonnes. This aid, which has been transported via 220 cargo planes and three cargo ships, is collected at Al Arish Port before being transported into Gaza through trucks via the Rafah crossing.

In addition to the aid convoy, the operation includes the implementation of the “Birds of Goodness” operation, which involves aerial drops of humanitarian supplies. So far, 43 drops have been conducted, delivering a total of 3,000 tonnes of food and relief materials to inaccessible isolated areas in Gaza.
