UAE sends 249th humanitarian convoy to Gaza ahead of winter: Video
The United Arab Emirates has delivered its 249th humanitarian aid convoy to the Gaza Strip under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, WAM reported, as the enclave braces for winter conditions.
The shipment arrived on Sunday, November 23, with footage showing aid packages being organised at the UAE’s logistics centre in Al Arish before trucks proceeded through the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing.
According to the head of the aid team, the convoy carried more than 195 tonnes of shelter materials, including 2,250 tents. He said the assistance aims to address the conditions faced by Gazans amid recent cold weather and rainfall, which have increased the need for emergency shelter.
The UAE launched the relief mission in November 2023 under the direction of President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Since the start of the conflict between Hamas and Israel, the initiative has provided continuous humanitarian support to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
