The UAE dispatched a ship loaded with thousands of tonnes of aid relief to support Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as part of an ongoing humanitarian campaign.

Zayed Humanitarian Ship 7 departed Saturday evening from Hamriyah Port in Dubai, bound for the Egyptian port of El-Arish to aid Palestinians.

The ship transported 5,820 tonnes of humanitarian aid, including food, medicines, medical equipment, and shelter materials. The aid is part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, which aims to support Palestinians in Gaza during the holy month of Ramadan.

This initiative reflects the UAE leadership’s commitment to providing humanitarian aid to those in need, the Emirates News Agency reported.

The dispatch of the aid-laden ship is part of a series of humanitarian initiatives led by the UAE. Several humanitarian organizations are contributing to the effort, including the Emirates Red Crescent and Zayed bin Sultan Al-Nahyan Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation.

Last week, four aid planes from the UAE landed at El-Arish International Airport also as part of the country’s efforts to support Palestinian families in Gaza.
