The 244th Emirati aid convoy has entered the Gaza Strip under the “Olive Children" initiative, which is dedicated to supporting Gaza’s orphans and securing their basic needs as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.
The convoy consisted of 22 trucks transporting about 426 tonnes of humanitarian aid, including clothing packages and supplies for children alongside food parcels, rice, and shelter materials that meet the needs of affected families in the Strip.
The initiative was launched last Ramadan by Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, wife of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah, Chairperson of The Big Heart Foundation, and Eminent Advocate for Refugee Children at UNHCR, in partnership with the Palestinian nonprofit “Taawon.”
"Olive Children" aims to support more than 20,000 orphans in Gaza, ensuring their right to education, healthcare, psychological support, and essential needs until they reach adulthood.
