The United Arab Emirates, in cooperation with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, continues to carry out airdrops of humanitarian aid as part of the "Birds of Goodness" initiative. Today, for the third consecutive day, the 56th airdrop was carried out over isolated areas in the Gaza Strip.
These efforts come within the framework of "Operation Gallant Knight 3," which reflects the UAE's unwavering commitment to supporting the brotherly Palestinian people and providing urgent relief aid in light of the difficult humanitarian challenges they face, especially in areas that are difficult to access by land due to the security situation.
The total aid airdropped since the launch of the initiative has risen to approximately 3,763 tons of basic food and relief supplies, using 195 aircraft. These airdrops included essential living needs for affected families, a step that confirms the UAE's continued support for the brotherly Palestinian people.
The UAE reiterated its commitment to continuing work and coordination with regional and international partners to ensure that aid reaches those in need in the Gaza Strip through all available means, in line with its long-standing humanitarian approach and its active role in relief and humanitarian work around the world.
