The shipment included 3,300 parcels containing food supplies aimed at meeting the basic nutritional needs of residents in the Strip, within the UAE’s ongoing humanitarian efforts to support the Palestinian people.

It is part of a total of 1,000 tons that the authority will send as part of the Humaid Air Bridge and in cooperation with Operation Valiant Knight 3.
