DUBAI: Jordan sent its 191st aid convoy to Gaza while the UAE conducted its 74th airdrop of much-needed humanitarian relief support for Palestinians in the besieged territory.

The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization’s convoy of 85 trucks has crossed into Gaza, carrying essential food supplies in coordination with the World Food Programme and the Jordanian Armed Forces, Jordan News Agency reported on Tuesday.

The charity’s head, Hussein Shibli, noted the daily obstacles that continue to hinder deliveries but stressed that Jordan’s humanitarian mission would not stop.

The UAE’s latest shipment – under the Chivalrous Knight 3 initiative – also included food and other vital supplies, which were prepared with the support of the UAE charitable organizations, UAE state news agency WAM reported.

The UAE also showcased its water supply project, dubbed Lifeline, which has now reached the southern areas of Al-Mawasi in Khan Younis, one of the most crowded areas in Gaza sheltering displaced families.

The new 7.5-kilometer pipeline, which runs from Emirati desalination plants in Egypt’s Rafah to the Al-Mawasi area in southern Gaza, is expected to provide up to 15 liters of fresh water daily to each of the 600,000 Palestinians living in there.
