UAE provided Dhs4.18 billion of aid to support Palestinians since 2010
The UAE has provided aid exceeding Dhs4.18 billion to Palestinian brothers and sisters since 2010.
Since the beginning of the war on Gaza in October 2023, the UAE, through its implementation of the "Gallant Knight 3" humanitarian operation, has been the country most supportive of the people of the Gaza Strip, accounting for 42% of total international aid.
This aid amounted to more than Dhs3 billion, through 53 airdrops, during which the UAE successfully delivered 3,700 tonnes of aid.
The UAE also provided more than 750 tons of medical supplies, while 640,000 children received polio vaccines. The UAE field hospital has treated more than 51,000 cases since its opening, and the UAE floating hospital has provided approximately 9,500 medical services since its inauguration.
Operation "Gallant Knight 3" continues to support food banks, primitive bakeries, and water well-drilling projects throughout Gaza.
On the other hand, 13 Palestinians were martyred and more than 200 others were injured on Thursday by Israeli forces near the aid centre near the Netzarim checkpoint in the central Gaza Strip, according to medical sources.
Over the past days, the Israeli forces have targeted aid distribution points over both in Rafah and the central Gaza Strip, resulting in dozens of killings and injuries.
Since 27th May, a total of 224 Palestinians have been killed and at least 1,858 wounded at aid distribution points across the territory, according to health officials.
