Operation Gallant Knight 3 provides families with food, water, and shelter.
The United Arab Emirates, under Operation Gallant Knight 3, continues to send humanitarian aid convoys to the Gaza Strip. Convoy No. 328 carried the Clothing of Hope for Our Children in Gaza initiative, aimed at providing garments and clothing for children. This effort underscores the UAE’s ongoing commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and bringing comfort to children amid challenging humanitarian conditions in the Strip.
The convoy, which has reached Gaza, comprises 15 trucks transporting 270 tonnes of clothing and children’s garments. This contribution supports Palestinian families and addresses children’s essential needs, reflecting the UAE’s steadfast humanitarian approach and its commitment to providing assistance and solidarity under all circumstances.
The convoy was made possible through contributions from several UAE humanitarian and charitable organizations, including the Emirates Red Crescent, Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation, Sharjah Charity International, Zayed Giving Initiative, International Charity Organization, Easa Saleh Al Gurg Charity Foundation, and the Saqr Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi Charity and Humanitarian Foundation.
Meanwhile, the UAE humanitarian aid team in Al Arish continues to operate around the clock through the UAE Humanitarian Aid Logistics Hub, receiving, sorting, organizing, preparing, and dispatching aid based on the humanitarian needs within Gaza—ensuring a rapid response and a sustained flow of support to the Palestinian people.
Operation Gallant Knight 3 reflects the UAE’s deeply rooted humanitarian values and its unwavering commitment to the people of Gaza. Through continuous relief convoys carrying food, medicine, and clothing, the UAE reaffirms its dedication to reaching those most in need.
