Gaza – Operation “Gallant Knight 3″ announced the resumption of the 54th “Birds of Goodness” airdrop of humanitarian and relief aid over the Gaza Strip. This airdrop, in cooperation with the sisterly Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, is a continuation of the UAE’s ongoing efforts to support civilians in isolated areas of the Strip that are inaccessible by land.
The total amount of food and relief supplies dropped over the Gaza Strip since the launch of the “Birds of Goodness” initiative, using 193 aircraft, amounts to approximately 3,725 tons. These supplies included basic food supplies and vital supplies that meet the urgent needs of families affected by the difficult and catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip.
This initiative reflects the UAE’s commitment to supporting our Palestinian brothers and providing immediate assistance to the displaced and affected, as part of a humanitarian approach deeply rooted in Emirati policy. The UAE has been a pioneer in providing relief aid, with Emirati aid accounting for more than 44% of the total international aid reaching the Gaza Strip.
