This convoy was distinguished by its qualitative nature, as it also included seven ambulances and one water tanker, strengthening field response capabilities and contributing to the provision of essential services as part of the UAE’s sustained humanitarian support to the Gaza Strip. 

These movements are carried out within an integrated operational framework overseen by the UAE humanitarian aid team in Al Arish, encompassing the preparation, sorting, and organisation of shipments according to priority needs, to ensure their orderly and swift delivery to beneficiaries inside Gaza. 

Earlier in the week, additional UAE aid consignments entered the Strip, including shelter supplies such as tents, blankets, tarpaulins, and relief kits, along with items designated for the elderly and children, in support of affected families and to help meet their basic daily needs.
