"The Mohammed bin Rashid humanitarian ship arrived at Al-Arish Port in Egypt, carrying tonnes of relief supplies for the people of the Gaza Strip, as part of Operation 'Gallant Knight 3'. Footage on Tuesday shows the vessel in port as well as aid supplies onboard "Mohammed bin Rashid Humanitarian Ship… is the 11th vessel and the largest [yet] in terms of cargo capacity," said Mohammed Al Sharif, spokesperson for the mission. "It is carrying more than 7,300 tonnes of various forms of aid, including food assistance, shelter supplies, and winter clothing. The ship also carries 10 million meals prepared as part of the initiatives of the Mohammed bin Rashid Global Initiatives," he added.
