The United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced on Friday that it had distributed tents and relief supplies to displaced Palestinian families in the Gaza Strip.
“As part of ‘Chivalrous Knight 3 Operation,' 70 tons of relief aid and tents have been distributed to hundreds of families in the Gaza Strip,” the UAE’s official news agency WAM said.
The news agency added that the teams had “set up dozens of shelter tents for families who have been forced to leave their homes due to the ongoing situation and continuous displacement across the Gaza Strip.”
Food parcels were also distributed to displaced Palestinian families in shelter camps “to alleviate their daily suffering, supplying urgent food and basic necessities amid food shortages and high market prices,” WAM stated.
"Chivalrous Knight 3 Operation" was launched on November 5 last year, following directives from UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to support Palestinians in the war-torn enclave.
Nearly 39,500 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 91,000 injured, according to local health authorities.
Almost 10 months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which ordered it to immediately halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
