Abu dhabi: The UAE has conducted its 54th airdrop over the Gaza Strip as part of the "Birds of Goodness" operation, in collaboration with Jordan. This initiative is part of the broader "Operation Chivalrous Knight 3," which aims to provide humanitarian and relief aid to regions in Gaza that are difficult to reach by land.
According to Emirates News Agency, the mission has been a joint effort with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, emphasizing the UAE's continuous commitment to supporting civilians in isolated areas of Gaza. Since the inception of the "Birds of Goodness" initiative, approximately 3,725 tonnes of food and relief supplies have been delivered via 193 aircraft. These supplies consist of essential food items and relief materials aimed at addressing the urgent needs of families impacted by the severe humanitarian conditions in the region.
The UAE's dedication to assisting the Palestinian people is reflected in its longstanding humanitarian policy, with Emirati aid comprising over 44% of the total international assistance delivered to Gaza. The UAE remains committed to prioritizing humanitarian support for Palestinians and will continue to work with regional and international partners to ensure aid reaches those in need through various routes, including land, sea, and air.
