The shipment is in response to the organisation's urgent requests to strengthen the capacity of hospitals and healthcare facilities to continue delivering essential services amid the current humanitarian and health crisis.

The convoy carries thousands of tonnes of essential medicines and medical supplies, including urgently needed treatment materials for kidney patients. This initiative forms part of the United Arab Emirates' humanitarian efforts to support Gaza's healthcare sector, alleviate the severe shortage of medical supplies, and ensure the continuity of healthcare and treatment services for patients.

Dr Heba Alnajjar, Emergency Medical Teams (EMT) Coordinator, said that the UAE medical convoy was delivered in direct response to the organisation's request and addressed urgent medical needs that had been submitted to the UAE and to Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.

She praised the UAE's rapid response in delivering critical medical supplies, particularly those needed by kidney patients.

Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 continues to implement its humanitarian and healthcare initiatives in the Gaza Strip by supplying hospitals and medical facilities with medicines, medical consumables, modern medical equipment, and devices.

These efforts help strengthen the healthcare system's ability to meet growing challenges and improve its response to the needs of patients and the injured, reflecting the UAE's longstanding humanitarian commitment to supporting the Palestinian people.
