The Emirati humanitarian aid team stationed in the city of Al Arish oversees the precise loading of the aid, monitors its delivery through the Rafah Crossing, and ensures it reaches the Gaza Strip.

Continuous aid

On March 31 this year, the UAE marked 500 days of continuous humanitarian relief under the operation, delivering over 65,000 tonnes of food, medical, and relief aid - valued at more than US$1.2 billion - through land, sea, and air routes.

With its tri-modal delivery system, by land, sea, and air, the initiative has enabled UAE humanitarian aid to constitute 44 per cent of total international aid to Gaza to date, according to UN reports.

Steadfast position

Earlier this week, the UAE strongly condemned the Israeli government's decision to occupy the Gaza Strip , warning of its catastrophic consequences.

In a statement by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Mofa), the country also stressed its outright rejection of any infringement on the inalienable rights of the Palestinians or attempts to displace them.
