Four UAE aid convoys carrying 781 tonnes enter Gaza under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3

The convoys — 57 trucks and nine water tankers — delivered food, shelter supplies and water as part of the UAE’s sustained humanitarian effort to support the Palestinian people.

Four United Arab Emirates humanitarian convoys entered the Gaza Strip this week carrying a combined 781 tonnes of relief supplies, the National News Agency (WAM) reported. The deliveries, mounted under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, comprised 57 trucks and nine water tankers and form part of the UAE’s ongoing response to humanitarian needs in the territory.

The shipments included food and shelter supplies alongside water provision by the tankers, intended to bolster emergency relief efforts and alleviate hardship among the civilian population. The operation represents a continuing logistical effort to keep humanitarian supplies moving into Gaza.

WAM said the latest convoys bring the total number of trucks that have entered Gaza under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 since its launch to 14,290, carrying a cumulative 136,439 tonnes of humanitarian assistance. Those cumulative figures underline the scale of the UAE’s contribution to the international relief effort for Palestinians.

Preparations for the convoys are conducted through the UAE Humanitarian Aid Logistics Centre in Al Arish. The centre operates an integrated system covering receipt, sorting, preparation and dispatch of assistance to the Gaza Strip, a process designed to ensure continuity in the flow of supplies and their delivery to those in need.

The deliveries form part of a coordinated humanitarian approach by the UAE government. By sustaining regular convoys and maintaining logistics capacity at Al Arish, the UAE aims to provide predictable channels for shelter, food and water aid to reach affected communities.

WAM’s account outlines only the operational and logistical aspects of the convoys. It does not provide details on the distribution partners inside Gaza, beneficiary numbers or the precise composition of the cargo beyond broad categories of food, shelter items and water tankers.

The UAE’s Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 continues to be one of the principal national initiatives channelled to Gaza, with authorities emphasising the importance of steady, coordinated humanitarian access and logistics to mitigate civilian suffering.
