A convoy of Emirati humanitarian aid trucks has entered the Gaza Strip via the Rafah border crossing, as part of the UAE’s ongoing 'Operation Chivalrous Knight 3' relief mission.

The convoy included 38 trucks, with 18 carrying essential supplies such as food, medical aid and infant formula.

The remaining 20 trucks delivered equipment for a new water pipeline that will connect a UAE-built desalination plant in Egypt to displacement zones in Gaza between Rafah and Khan Younis.

The pipeline will span 7 km and produce 2 million gallons of water per day.

This follows an earlier delivery of 25 trucks, bringing the total number of vehicles supporting the water infrastructure project to 45, with all necessary components now in place.

Meanwhile, the UAE has resumed its 'Birds of Goodness' aid airdrop missions to provide critical relief to the people of Gaza.
