In a move that reflects its continued commitment to supporting the Palestinian people, the United Arab Emirates has brought in 12 new relief aid trucks into the Gaza Strip through the Beit Hanoun crossing in the north of the Strip and the Kerem Shalom crossing in the south of the Strip, in coordination with the United States Agency for Near East Refugee Aid (UNERA). The trucks carry approximately 150 tons of food, medicine and humanitarian supplies, covering the urgent and pressing needs of approximately 30,000 residents of the Strip.

His Excellency Sultan Mohammed Al Shamsi, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development for Development and International Organizations, stressed that the UAE always stands by the Palestinian people, having provided more than 40,000 tons of aid to date. Al Shamsi pointed out that the UAE will continue to cooperate with the United Nations and international partners to ensure that aid reaches Gaza safely and effectively, with the aim of alleviating the humanitarian crisis and ensuring immediate, sustainable, unhindered and widespread access to the population of the Strip.
