The UAE has distributed urgent aid, date parcels, and gallons of drinking water to displaced Palestinian families in shelter camps in Khan Younis, through its humanitarian arm Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.

Dates and hundreds of gallons of water were distributed as part of Chivalrous Knight 3, which saw the distribution of 80 tonnes of humanitarian and urgent aid to Palestinian families suffering from a shortage of basic materials and water.

Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 seeks to alleviate the water crisis in areas where residents and displaced persons are present. It has implemented a water distribution campaign that has benefited more than 70,000 people.

The operation is currently working with the Khan Younis Municipality to repair water lines and tanks to ensure a permanent and sufficient supply, thereby avoiding humanitarian disasters and diseases.
