In a remarkable display of solidarity, the UAE has launched the “Galant Knight 3” humanitarian operation to stand by the Palestinian people in their time of need. The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) has been at the forefront, tirelessly distributing essential aid to the Gaza Strip, making a significant impact on the lives of over 311,730 individuals.

Aid Reaching Every Corner

The ERC’s efforts under the “Galant Knight 3” operation have reached far and wide. Those affected by the crisis have received crucial supplies, including food parcels, relief kits with hygiene essentials, and even tents for shelter. The scale of this initiative is a testament to the UAE’s commitment to supporting its brotherly Palestinian neighbors.

Swift Response to Urgent Needs

Prompted by the unfolding events in the Gaza Strip, President Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan directed immediate relief aid. A staggering $20 million was swiftly provided through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). This quick and substantial response underscores the UAE’s dedication to addressing urgent humanitarian needs.

Compassionate Initiatives

Beyond the financial support, the UAE has implemented compassionate initiatives to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people. The country hosted a thousand Palestinians requiring cancer treatments in its hospitals, ensuring they receive the care they deserve. Additionally, a thousand Palestinian children and their families found refuge in state hospitals during their recovery — a poignant illustration of the UAE’s commitment to the well-being of the vulnerable.
