Three UAE convoys loaded with various humanitarian aid crossed this week into the Gaza Strip through the Egyptian Rafah Border Crossing.

This is part of the UAE's efforts to support and provide relief to the Palestinians during the current circumstances in line with Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.

The convoys consisted of 29 trucks carrying more than 364 tonnes of humanitarian aid. This includes food, winter clothing, shelter tents and other essential needs.

It brings the number of aid convoys that have entered the Gaza Strip through Egyptian border crossings as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, to 150 convoys consisting of 2,319 trucks transporting more than 29,025 tonnes.

Since the start of the crisis, the UAE has provided 46,659 tonnes of urgent relief supplies to the Gaza Strip.
