The UAE has marked a year of aid operations in Gaza on Tuesday, facilitated by "Operation Chivalrous Knight 3," under the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The UAE was one of the first humanitarian responders to the crisis, providing medical care, urgent relief, and supporting essential infrastructure.
The UAE established the UAE Field Hospital last year, which continues to operate despite ongoing military actions in southern Gaza's Rafah. The hospital comprises various departments and specialised clinics that have treated 48,704 injured individuals.
The UAE also deployed a floating hospital in the Egyptian city of Al Arish, fully equipped to receive injured Palestinians. This facility has provided specialised surgical care and outpatient services, treating 5,040 cases since its operation.
As part of the "Operation Chivalrous Knight 3", the UAE introduced a prosthetics initiative to support Gaza residents who have lost limbs due to the conflict. This effort provides advanced prosthetic limbs, helping recipients regain mobility and independence.
The programme also offers psychological support and rehabilitation to assist individuals in adjusting to their new circumstances
The UAE played a crucial role in supporting Gaza's damaged health sector, providing 736.25 tonnes of medical supplies, including medicines, emergency kits, and medical equipment. The UAE also contributed to the rehabilitation and expansion of hospitals and health centres.
More than 1,000 children and 1,000 cancer patients have been evacuated from Gaza to the UAE for specialised medical treatment. This support covers treatment costs, medications, and healthcare to alleviate their suffering amid limited medical resources.
