AL ARISH: The United Arab Emirates has provided aid packages tailored for children and women in Gaza as part of the UAE’s continued humanitarian support for the Palestinian people through “Operation Chivalrous Knight 3”.

Hamoud Abdullah Al Junaibi, Secretary-General of the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC), highlighted ongoing efforts within “Operation Chivalrous Knight 3” to prepare aid packages specifically for children and women to meet their needs.

Speaking to the Emirates News Agency (WAM), Al Junaibi said, “The distribution of these food baskets is part of the holistic relief endeavours initiated by the UAE to deliver humanitarian assistance to Gaza. This is facilitated either through airdrop operations, or via UAE aid convoys entering through the Rafah Border Crossing.”

Al Junaibi noted that plans are underway to provide Eid clothing to Gaza citizens, underscoring that the ERC and all relevant state institutions are working closely to continuously provide the necessary humanitarian support to the Palestinian people.
