UAE Sends 14th Aid Ship and Convoys to Gaza

The United Arab Emirates expanded its humanitarian support for the Gaza Strip during the first week of November 2026 through Operation Chivalrous Knight 3. The effort included the departure of the Ahmed bin Rashid Humanitarian Ship from Abu Dhabi to Al Arish Port in Egypt, carrying over 4,300 tonnes of aid. This shipment, the 14th ship dispatched by the UAE to the region, included four sewage tankers and four waste collection trucks designed to restore essential health and environmental services.

Following the maritime shipment, the UAE government dispatched four land convoys consisting of 38 trucks. These convoys delivered 343 tonnes of food and shelter supplies to Palestinians. All land-based aid was processed through the UAE Humanitarian Aid Logistics Centre in Al Arish.

These recent missions bring the total amount of aid delivered by the UAE to Gaza via air, land, and sea to more than 135,000 tonnes. The operation continues under the directives of President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
