UAE conducts 54th Gaza airdrop in joint mission with Jordan

The UAE has delivered its 54th humanitarian airdrop over the Gaza Strip, this time in coordination with Jordan, as part of the ongoing Operation Chivalrous Knight 3. The mission marks the resumption of the "Birds of Goodness" initiative, which provides life-saving aid to civilians trapped in areas cut off from ground access. Since the launch of the "Birds of Goodness" missions, more than 3,725 tonnes of food and relief supplies have been airdropped using 193 aircraft. These include food items and materials aimed at alleviating the suffering of families affected by the catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the Strip. The airdrops specifically target isolated and inaccessible regions, offering assistance as traditional land routes remain blocked or too dangerous to navigate. Emirati assistance accounts for over 44 per cent of all international aid delivered to Gaza to date, making the UAE one of the leading global contributors in this crisis. The aid is part of a strategy to deliver relief by land, sea and air in partnership with regional and international nations.
