UAE Provides Tents for 50,000 People in Gaza

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, directed the provision of tents to shelter 50,000 people in the Gaza Strip. The initiative, managed through the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, aims to protect families from flooding risks and harsh winter weather.

The tents will be distributed across multiple areas in Gaza as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3. This comprehensive humanitarian mission was launched on November 5, 2023, under the direction of President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

To date, the UAE has delivered over 136,000 tonnes of aid valued at $4.16 billion through the operation. This contribution represents approximately 46 percent of all international humanitarian assistance to reach the enclave. Diplomatic adviser Anwar Gargash described the situation facing Gazans as "heartbreaking."
