UAE and Egypt introduce a collaborative humanitarian airdrop in Gaza
The implementation of Operation "Birds of Goodness" signifies a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to alleviate the plight of civilians in the northern Gaza Strip.
With meticulous planning and coordination, the Joint Operations Command of the Ministry of Defense orchestrated the 33rd airdrop of vital humanitarian and relief aid into this region.
This operation saw the collaborative participation of military assets from the United Arab Emirates and Egypt. Two C17 aircraft from the UAE Air Force, along with two C295 aircraft from the Egyptian Air Force, were instrumental in executing the mission. Their combined efforts ensured the efficient delivery of essential supplies to areas that have been isolated and inaccessible due to ongoing challenges in the region.
The airdrop's decision to be carried out demonstrates a dedication to offering instant support to communities suffering from the effects of war and humanitarian emergencies. Through the utilization of aircraft, the organization managed to overcome logistical obstacles and reach locations where traditional ground transit is impractical.
The aid distributed during this operation comprised 82 tons of food and relief supplies, underscoring the magnitude of support extended to vulnerable populations. Since the inception of Operation "Birds of Charity," a total of 2,107 tons of aid have been delivered to the northern Gaza Strip, offering a lifeline to those in need.
It is noteworthy that the assistance provided by the UAE extends beyond aerial operations. Through the Kerem Abu Salem crossing, significant volumes of aid have been transported by land, further augmenting the relief efforts in the region. The cumulative aid dispatched, combining both air and land routes, now stands at an impressive 2,477 tons, highlighting the unwavering commitment to humanitarian relief.
"Birds of Goodness" is a crucial part of "The Gallant Knight 3," a larger project. In light of this, the United Arab Emirates and its partners once again declare their support for the Palestinian people, especially those who live in the Gaza Strip. The goal is to lessen suffering, restore dignity, and cultivate hope for a better future in the face of hardship through persistent efforts and group projects.
