Supported by the UAE International Aid Agency .. The first shipments of the "Mohammed bin Rashid Humanitarian" ship enter Gaza

The 272nd Emirati humanitarian convoy, part of Operation "Gallant Knight 3", entered the Gaza Strip, carrying approximately 387 tons of food parcels, marking the first shipments arriving from the Mohammed bin Rashid Humanitarian ship to the Strip.

The "Mohammed bin Rashid Humanitarian" ship had docked in Al-Arish port last week, carrying food aid designated to meet urgent needs in Gaza, including approximately 10 million meals provided by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, as part of the continuous Emirati efforts to enhance food security and support the most affected groups.

Mohammed Al Kaabi, the media coordinator for Operation "Gallant Knight 3" in Al-Arish, stated that "the Emirati humanitarian aid team in Al-Arish city works day and night, around the clock, to ensure aid reaches its beneficiaries in Gaza as quickly as possible. The team has made great efforts in unloading, discharging, and preparing the cargo of the Mohammed bin Rashid Humanitarian ship since its arrival in Al-Arish, with the first batches of its cargo entering Gaza a week after the ship's arrival." 

The arrival of the convoy is part of an integrated logistical system supervised by the Emirati humanitarian aid team in Al-Arish city, starting from unloading the ship's cargo according to organized operating procedures, then transferring the shipments to the Emirati Humanitarian Aid Logistics Center in Al-Arish to complete the technical processing stages, where the team works around the clock to ensure speed of execution, accuracy of procedures, and safety of materials.

At the logistics center, parcels are inspected, sorted, and checked for readiness, with any damaged shipments re-packaged according to precise standards that consider content quality and validity, before storing the aid inside warehouses according to their classification and type, ensuring ease of preparation and accelerating response to field needs.

After completing the inspection, sorting, and storage stages, food items are prepared within the humanitarian supply chain for successive transfer to the Gaza Strip via Emirati humanitarian aid convoys, as part of continuous efforts to secure relief support and meet the basic needs of Palestinian brethren.

It is worth noting that Operation "Gallant Knight 3" continues its humanitarian efforts to support the Palestinian people, through an integrated relief system that includes operating land convoys, airlifts, and sea shipments, and implementing relief, health, and food projects and initiatives, reflecting the UAE's steadfast commitment to supporting brethren and alleviating their suffering.
