The UAE’s fourth aid ship for Gaza has arrived at Al Arish Port in Egypt, ahead of its preparation and delivery through the Rafah crossing, in coordination with Egyptian authorities.
The ship, which departed from Fujairah on 8th July, is the largest in the UAE’s aid efforts to Gaza, both in terms of cargo volume and the diversity of supplies.
It is carrying 5,340 tonnes of essential relief items, including 4,134 tonnes of food parcels, 145 tonnes of rice and flour, 110 tonnes of water in 200,000 packages, and more than 4,000 tents. Additionally, it includes 42,000 health packages for women and children, 18 tonnes of weather-resistant covers, and 1,600 relief bags.
This shipment is part of Operation "Chivalrous Knight 3," which reflects the UAE’s dedication to alleviating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The operation also includes establishing field hospitals—one within Gaza and one as a floating hospital off Al Arish—setting up five automatic bakeries, and providing flour to eight existing bakeries in Gaza.
Furthermore, six desalination plants have been installed, producing 1.2 million gallons of water daily to benefit over 600,000 people.
The UAE has also launched Operation "Birds of Goodness" to airdrop 3,382 tonnes of aid to isolated areas in northern Gaza.
This extensive relief effort underscores the UAE’s commitment to supporting Palestinians during their time of need.
