UAE delivers largest aid ship yet to Gaza via Egypt

Arish– The United Arab Emirates delivered its largest aid shipment yet to Gaza on Friday, with a ship carrying 5,340 tons of food and shelter materials arriving at Al-Arish Port in Egypt.

The event, held on a bustling Friday, was announced by the North Sinai Governorate and attended by key officials including Major General Khaled Megawer, Governor of North Sinai; Rashid Al-Mansouri, Secretary-General of the Emirates Red Crescent; Sultan Al-Kaabi, spokesperson for relief affairs in Operation “Gallant Knight 3”; and Ahmed Mubarak, Medical Director of the floating UAE hospital in Al-Arish.

Upon the ship’s arrival, Megawer emphasized the strategic importance of North Sinai as a central hub for receiving humanitarian, food, and relief aid destined for Gaza. He elaborated on the robust logistics network that includes land, air, and sea channels, enabling the governorate to handle hundreds of thousands of tons of aid in recent months.

He expressed profound appreciation for the UAE’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people, lauding diverse relief initiatives ranging from immediate humanitarian assistance to long-term healthcare solutions. He highlighted the field hospital in Gaza and the floating hospital at Al-Arish Port as testaments to the UAE’s commitment to humanitarian causes.

Al-Mansouri provided insights into the logistical journey of the aid ship, which departed from Fujairah Port two weeks earlier. This vessel, the fourth to reach Al-Arish Port under Operation “Gallant Knight 3,” carried 5,340 tons of humanitarian materials, including 4,750 tons of food supplies and 590 tons of shelter materials, transported by 313 trucks. The operation is a joint effort among the Emirates Red Crescent, the Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation, and the Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation.
