Sharjah24: Under the patronage of Sheikh Mohammed bin Humaid Al Qasimi, the Sharjah Charity International (SCI) held a press conference at the theatre of the Department of Statistics and Community Development. Operation Gallant Knight 3 and the Sharjah Charity International held a press conference at the theatre of Al Qasimia University to launch the Step of Hope initiative. Mohamed Al Sharif, spokesman for Operation Gallant Knight 3, announced a partnership between the two organisations, which will provide prosthetic limbs to those injured in Gaza. He noted that the operation, launched in November 2023 on the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, continues to this day.

50 limbs for 50 people

Speaking to “Sharjah24”, Al Sharif said the initiative will provide around 50 prosthetic limbs to 50 people who lost limbs in Gaza. He added that charitable organisations, both inside and outside the UAE, have been keen to join the programme, given the positive response it has received in the field of prosthetic care.

UAE aid passes $3.1 billion

Al Sharif put the UAE's total humanitarian contribution through these operations at more than 46 per cent of global aid to Gaza, worth over $3.1 billion. He said the UAE would continue standing by its Palestinian brothers and sisters in Gaza until the crisis comes to an end.
