The UAE has sent 100 lorries carrying more than 1,440 tonnes of aid to Gaza since the ceasefire began on January 19.
Lorryloads comprising food supplies, relief packages, shelter tents and other essential items were sent in five convoys, state news agency Wam reported on Saturday.
A humanitarian aid team from the UAE based in Al Arish, Egypt, has been supervising the loading of the convoys before they enter the Rafah border crossing.
The presence of the humanitarian team ensures that aid enters the Gaza Strip, said Sultan Al Kaabi, the official in charge of humanitarian aid for the UAE's Gallant Knight 3 operation.
The total number of aid convoys entering Gaza under Gallant Knight 3 has reached 160, delivering a total close to 31,026 tonnes in humanitarian assistance.
"The UAE re-affirms its ongoing commitment to supporting the Palestinian people, alleviating the effects of the current situation, and standing by the fraternal Palestinians in Gaza," said a statement on Wam.
