UAE Community Comes Together to Pack 10 Million Meals

Mohammed Al Sharif, official spokesperson for Operation Gallant Knight 3, said Sheikh Mohammed’s initiative will support brothers and sisters in Gaza during the winter. Having packed food items for three million meals in just three hours, he was confident the 10-million-meal target would be met by day’s end.

“We plan to send the food items on the Mohammed bin Rashid Humanitarian Ship to Al Arish Port in Egypt. From there, it will be transported to Gaza. It will take a couple of weeks. We hope it will reach the people in Gaza before the New Year,” he said.

The UAE remains the largest donor to Gaza, with Operation Gallant Knight having donated 103,000 tonnes of aid so far and the country’s humanitarian assistance has reached around $2.6 billion, representing 46 per cent of total global aid, he added. The 257th humanitarian convoy under Operation Gallant Knight 3 entered the Gaza Strip on Saturday carrying shelter supplies and winter clothing.
