Two shipments carrying 260 tons of food supplies crossed into the Gaza Strip this week via 10 trucks, marking the latest delivery under the ongoing “Gallant Knight 3” humanitarian operation, in line with continuous humanitarian efforts by the United Arab Emirates to support the Palestinian people and meet their basic needs.
Gallant Knight 3 Delivers 138,290 Tons of Aid
The latest truck deliveries bring the total number of vehicles entering Gaza under the “Gallant Knight 3” initiative to 14,594 since the operation began. These shipments have delivered a cumulative 138,290 tons of humanitarian aid to the enclave. The operation’s logistics team continues to process, sort, and dispatch supplies through a dedicated logistics center in the Egyptian city of El Arish to maintain a steady flow of provisions, ensuring assistance is regularly dispatched to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people and address their urgent humanitarian needs.
Parallel to the overland trucks, other delivery channels have ramped up activity. Authorities simultaneously initiated the loading of the “Ahmed bin Rashid Humanitarian Ship” with relief materials, opening a maritime route in a step synchronized with ongoing air journeys to expand the humanitarian bridge and ensure the sustainability of aid flow into the strip under the leadership of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
