The United Arab Emirates has continued humanitarian efforts to support Palestinians in the Gaza Strip with the 60th airdrop of humanitarian aid as part of the “Operation Birds of Goodness'' campaign, which falls under the larger “Operation Chivalrous Knight 3”.

This operation was conducted in cooperation with Jordan and with the participation of France, Germany, and Italy.

The airdrops aim to deliver critical relief to areas that are inaccessible by land due to current field conditions. Each drop includes a variety of food items and urgent humanitarian supplies.

With Sunday’s operation, the total amount of aid airdropped has exceeded 3,807 tonnes, comprising various food and relief materials designated to assist Palestinians in the most severely affected areas.

In addition, the UAE delivered 22 medical aid trucks containing medicines and medical supplies, coordinated with the World Health Organisation (WHO), to support the healthcare sector and meet the basic needs of operational hospitals in Gaza.
