The aid has been organised and delivered under the UAE's continuing Operation Gallant Knight 3 campaign, state news agency Wam reported. The convoys are part of the UAE's humanitarian efforts to support Palestinians in Gaza and help meet their basic needs by delivering relief and food assistance, Wam said on Sunday. Operation Gallant Knight 3 was set up after the outbreak of the war in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas on October 7, 2023. The Emirates has sought to deliver humanitarian support in a show of solidarity with Gazans, with relief efforts continuing despite recent attacks by Iran. As well as billions of dirhams' worth of aid, the UAE has set up a field hospital in Gaza and a floating hospital on a repurposed ship in Al Arish. It has also flown thousands of injured Palestinians to the UAE for urgent medical treatment.
