The Gallant Knight 3 humanitarian operation announced the entry of 10 fully-equipped ambulances into the Gaza Strip through the Egyptian Rafah crossing, as part of the UAE’s efforts to meet the requirements of the health sector in Gaza.

The UAE's swift action comes in response to the urgent need for ambulances after most of the vehicles operating in the Gaza Strip to transport wounded and injured residents of Gaza were damaged.
