‘They continue to help despite hardships they’re facing’ - UAE sends more aid to Gaza as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3

"The United Arab Emirates sent another aid convoy to Gaza as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3. Under a banner reading 'Clothing of Hope for the Smiles of Gaza's Children’, the Emirates continued the ongoing relief efforts for Gaza, where the humanitarian situation remains bleak. Footage on Friday shows the aid being prepared and the convoy moving through Gaza. "God bless them. They continue to help us despite the hardships they are facing," said a local resident. Emirati media noted that the convoy consisted of hundreds of tonnes of clothing, to “bring joy to exhausted families and give them a sense of support and care." Reports added that the aid was made possible by Emirati humanitarian organisations that remain committed to sending assistance to Gaza. The UAE launched Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 on November 5, 2023, under directives from UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to provide humanitarian relief to Palestinians in Gaza following the outbreak of conflict between Israel and Hamas on October 7, 2023. The Israel-Hamas war erupted on October 7, 2023, following Hamas attacks that killed 1,139 people (mostly Israeli civilians) and captured over 200 hostages. Israel's subsequent military campaign in Gaza has killed 72,253 people and injured 171,912 at the time of publication. In January, U.S. Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff announced the start of the second phase of the 20-point 'Trump Plan' aimed at ending the Gaza conflict. This phase includes moving from ceasefire to disarmament, establishing a technocratic administration, and beginning reconstruction efforts. "
