WAM

As part of the UAE's "Operation Chivalrous Knight 3", a second mass wedding ceremony for 300 couples has been held in Deir Al Balah in Gaza, with support from the Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation.

The event brought together brides and grooms from across the Gaza Strip and was attended by around 20,000 people, including community leaders and representatives from international organisations.

The ceremony included the formal announcement of the marriages, gift distribution for the newlyweds, and traditional cultural performances.

Officials say the initiative is aimed at helping young Palestinians begin married life amid the difficult humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
