UAE launches largest water supply project from Egypt to southern Gaza
UAE's 'Operation Chivalrous Knight 3' has announced the launch of the largest desalinated water supply project from Egypt to southern Gaza, as part of its emergency response to the deepening water crisis in the besieged Strip. At a press conference held at the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) headquarters in Deir al Balah, the operation revealed that a new 315mm water transmission line, stretching 6.7 kilometres, is now under construction. The pipeline will connect the UAE-established desalination plant on the Egyptian side to a displacement area between Khan Younis and Rafah governorates. The project is expected to provide 15 litres of desalinated water per person daily, benefiting around 600,000 residents in southern Gaza, where more than 80 per cent of water infrastructure has been destroyed due to the dire ongoing developments in Gaza Strip. Sharif Al Nayrab, media director for Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 in Gaza, stated, 'This new water pipeline is more than a rapid response to the urgent thirst crisis in Gaza; it is a continuation of the UAE's unwavering commitment to supporting the Palestinian people, particularly in the face of the humanitarian disaster caused by war.' He added that the UAE has consistently led relief efforts in Gaza, from building desalination stations and delivering water tankers to drilling wells and maintaining water networks, culminating in this vital initiative aimed at securing safe drinking water for the most affected areas. Omar Shatat, Deputy Director-General of the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility for Technical Affairs, expressed gratitude to the UAE, which has been on the frontlines of humanitarian support since the onset of the war. He noted that UAE-funded projects have helped municipalities and civil society institutions maintain essential services amid extremely challenging conditions. Khalil Abu Shammala, a representative of civil society in Gaza, praised the UAE's crucial role and the humanitarian projects implemented under the Operation Chivalrous Knight 3. He also emphasised that initiatives like this provide residents with access to safe and healthy water, strengthening their resilience in the face of persistent crises. This initiative marks a new chapter in Operation Chivalrous Knight 3's efforts to repair critical infrastructure in Gaza, particularly in the water sector, and is part of broader UAE-led humanitarian operations to mitigate the disaster and support the steadfastness of the local population.

President Sheikh Mohamed to make state visit to Turkey today
President Sheikh Mohamed is expected to meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during a state visit on Wednesday. The visit, in which both leaders are expected to discuss regional and international issues as well as various areas of possible co-operation, was confirmed by state news agency Wam. Sheikh Mohamed's visit follows on from a phone call he shared with Mr Erdogan on Sunday. The two leaders mapped out their countries' commitment to promoting security and stability and pledged to work closely together to pursue a path to peace in the Middle East. The discussions come as the ceasefire between Iran and Israel holds firm and the international community hopes for a similar truce to end violence in Gaza. Both leaders have called for an end to hostilities after the Iran-Israel conflict erupted last month.
