LONDON: The first delivery from the Mohammed bin Rashid Humanitarian Ship — which arrived at Al-Arish Port last week — has entered the Gaza Strip with 387 tonnes of food parcels to aid Palestinians.
As part of the UAE’s Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 campaign, 10 million meals have been packaged to support Palestinians in Gaza. The Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum Global Initiatives provided the assistance, the Emirates News Agency reported.
Mohammed Al-Kaabi, the campaign’s spokesperson, said the UAE’s humanitarian team in the Egyptian port of Al-Arish “works day and night, around the clock, to ensure aid reaches its beneficiaries in the Gaza Strip as quickly as possible.”
The team was able to deliver the first batch of the ship’s cargo to Gaza on Monday, one week after its arrival in Al-Arish, he added.
Following inspection, sorting, and storage, food supplies were prepared for transfer to the Gaza Strip via the UAE’s humanitarian aid convoys which aimed at supporting the basic needs of the Palestinian people, he said.
The UAE’s Chivalrous Knight campaign has been providing humanitarian aid to Palestinians from land, air, and sea since the conflict in Gaza began in late 2023.
