The UAE has intensified its humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip as harsh winter conditions and severe cold worsen the plight of displaced families, according to WAM.

 

As part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, UAE field teams accelerated relief efforts on the ground, delivering emergency assistance despite heavy rain and flooding that inundated streets and damaged temporary shelters. Pre-positioned water-pumping equipment was activated to drain flooded areas and ease movement for residents affected by the storm.

 

During the recent weather depression, the operation distributed 1,189 shelter tents, 4,280 winter jackets, and 538 relief kits containing essential supplies. Additional aid included 5,012 winter clothing parcels and 1,403 blankets.

 

The ongoing operation underscores the UAE’s continued commitment to providing humanitarian and relief support to the people of Gaza, reaffirming its efforts to alleviate suffering amid prolonged and difficult conditions.
