Today, the fourth Emirati aid ship set sail carrying 5,340 tons of humanitarian supplies, heading to the city of Al-Arish in preparation for entry into the Gaza Strip. This is part of the "Al-Faris Al-Shahem 3" operation to support the Palestinian people in the region. The ship, which departed from the Port of Fujairah, is carrying 4,750 tons of food supplies and 590 tons of shelter materials. The shipment was secured by the UAE Red Crescent Authority, the Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Foundation for Charitable and Humanitarian Works, and the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation for Humanitarian Works, using 313 trucks that unloaded their cargo onto the ship.
As part of the Al-Faris Al-Shahem 3 operation, the UAE has established several initiatives, including the creation of two field hospitals: one inside Gaza and the other a floating hospital off the coast of Al-Arish. Additionally, five automatic bakeries have been set up, flour has been provided for eight existing bakeries in Gaza, and six desalination plants have been established producing 1.2 million gallons daily, benefiting over 600,000 people in the region.
Recently, the Joint Operations Command launched the "Birds of Goodness" operation to drop humanitarian aid in isolated areas that do not receive assistance in Northern Gaza, with a total of 3,382 tons of relief and humanitarian aid distributed to date.
