The UAE announced the successful entry of twelve trucks carrying carrying 150 tonnes of aid into the Gaza Strip via two land borders, in cooperation with the American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera).

The new shipment – one of the first to enter the Gaza Strip since October – comprises twelve trucks that entered the besieged Strip through the Erez Crossing in northern Gaza and the Karam Abu Salem crossing in southern Gaza. The aid is expected to assist 30,000 people. 

Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs for Development Affairs and International Organisations, Sultan Mohammed Al Shamsi, emphasised that the continuous UAE humanitarian aid to Gaza reflects the country’s historic and steadfast commitment to support the brotherly Palestinians. The UAE is implementing wide-ranging endeavours to address the disastrous and deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Strip.

He added, “The UAE is steadfastly committed to extending a helping hand to the Palestinians and implementing humanitarian relief initiatives whether via land, sea, or air routes. So far, the UAE has provided more than 40,000 tonnes of urgent aid, and will continue its extensive work and leading role alongside the United Nations, and international partners to ensure the immediate, safe, unhindered, and sustainable delivery of aid on a wide scale, through all possible means.”
