These efforts fall within the framework of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, reflecting the UAE’s unwavering commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and alleviating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, particularly amid ongoing security challenges that hinder overland aid delivery.

Since the initiative began, a total of 3,775 tonnes of food and relief supplies have been airdropped using 196 specialised aircraft, ensuring precision targeting and access to the most vulnerable populations.

58 relief trucks delivered by land
