On August 3rd, 2025, the United Arab Emirates, in collaboration with the World Health Organization, delivered a new consignment of vital medicines and medical supplies. These supplies were delivered to WHO warehouses for subsequent distribution to hospitals throughout the Gaza Strip. This initiative is part of the UAE's ongoing humanitarian efforts.
The aid is particularly crucial given the severe strain on the healthcare system in Gaza, exacerbated by the ongoing blockade. The shipment, delivered today, comprised eleven trucks carrying approximately 65 tonnes of diverse medicines. These included essential, life-saving medications and urgent medical supplies intended to address the immediate needs of healthcare facilities within the region.
Representatives from the World Health Organization commended the UAE for its significant support of Gaza's healthcare sector. They underscored the importance of international collaboration in providing urgent relief to the area. The organization noted that this aid would directly alleviate the critical medicine shortage and improve the ability of hospitals and healthcare centers to manage the growing medical demands.
The UAE's support for Gaza extends across multiple sectors, encompassing food, shelter, education, and healthcare. This assistance is provided under the framework of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, demonstrating the UAE's unwavering humanitarian commitment to the Palestinian people.
