Al arish: UAE humanitarian aid convoy No. 272 entered the Gaza Strip today as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, carrying 387 tonnes of food parcels. This marks the first shipment from the Mohammed bin Rashid Humanitarian Ship to enter the Gaza Strip.
According to Emirates News Agency, the Mohammed bin Rashid Humanitarian Ship, which arrived at Al Arish Port last week, is loaded with food assistance aimed at addressing urgent needs in Gaza. The shipment includes ten million meals provided by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, aligning with the UAE's ongoing efforts to enhance food security and support the most affected groups.
Mohammed Al Kaabi, Media Coordinator of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 in Al Arish, stated that the UAE humanitarian aid team in Al Arish is working continuously to ensure aid reaches its intended recipients in the Gaza Strip swiftly. He noted that the team has been diligently unloading, offloading, and preparing the cargo since the ship's arrival, enabling the first batch to enter Gaza today, a week after docking.
The entry of the convoy is part of an integrated logistics system managed by the UAE humanitarian aid team in Al Arish. The process involves unloading the ship's cargo in accordance with organised procedures, followed by transporting the shipments to the UAE humanitarian aid logistics centre in Al Arish for necessary technical handling. The team operates around the clock to ensure speed, accuracy, and the safety of the materials.
At the logistics centre, the parcels undergo inspection, sorting, and safety checks, with any damaged parcels being repackaged in line with strict standards. The aid is then stored in warehouses according to classification and type, facilitating rapid preparation and response to field needs.
Once inspection, sorting, and storage stages are completed, the food supplies are prepared within the humanitarian supply chain for transfer to the Gaza Strip through UAE humanitarian aid convoys. This effort is part of ongoing initiatives to secure relief support and meet the basic needs of the Palestinian people.
Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 continues its humanitarian mission to support the Palestinian people through an integrated relief system that includes land convoys, an air bridge, and maritime shipments, alongside the implementation of relief, health, and food initiatives. This underscores the UAE's commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and alleviating their hardships.
