The 'Operation Knight of Generosity 3' initiative, launched by UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, has marked over 572 days of continuous humanitarian support for the Palestinian people in Gaza.

This effort is part of a broader comprehensive relief initiative executed by the United Arab Emirates, emphasizing its long-standing commitment to aid the Palestinian community.

In May, UAE charitable organizations implemented more than 18 projects and initiatives as part of the operation, including the drilling of water wells, delivering trucks laden with flour to restart shuttered bakeries, and distributing clothing and other essentials.

These activities reflect the UAE's historical dedication to supporting the Palestinian people.

The UAE's assistance efforts in May commenced with distributing thousands of health kits to cancer patients in southern Gaza, as a continuation of the 'Seeds of Hope' initiative.

This was followed by the drilling of water wells to ensure basic needs for displaced individuals at camps and shelters amidst the challenging humanitarian conditions.

Additionally, a memorandum of understanding was signed with the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility to ensure the delivery of safe drinking water to displaced persons.

Throughout May, the UAE also organized the distribution of school supplies at the Al Furati Educational Center, supporting education in Gaza.

Furthermore, food provision initiatives targeted hunger in southern Gaza, alongside the distribution of hygiene kits and clothing for displaced individuals at various camps.

The operation has included the fourth phase of the 'Water Crisis Relief Plan', aimed at rehabilitating and operating central wells that have ceased functioning across all provinces of Gaza.

Five trucks loaded with flour and bread production materials were delivered to revitalize bakeries that had been idle due to the depletion of essential supplies, addressing the acute food scarcity faced by numerous families in Gaza.

As part of its extensive initiatives, the UAE has executed multiple projects, including establishing two field hospitals: one within Gaza offering comprehensive medical services, and another floating hospital off the coast of Al-Arish.

The health system has been bolstered with 17 emergency ambulances equipped with modern medical facilities, along with the provision of 1,200 tons of medical supplies to local hospitals.

To secure basic needs, six desalination plants producing two million gallons of potable water daily have been established, along with 12 water tankers supplying water to medical facilities and camps.

Additionally, 21 field bakeries have been set up to produce bread daily, and 50 charitable kitchens are providing hot meals to affected families.

The operation has also featured an aerial bridge critical for delivering aid, having conducted around 600 airlift missions that transported thousands of tons of supplies, supported by aerial drops termed 'Birds of Goodness'.

Launched in response to escalated violence in the region, 'Operation Knight of Generosity 3' is among the lengthiest and most extensive ongoing relief initiatives, emphasizing its focus on assisting civilians, particularly women, children, and the elderly.

The support has varied from emergency food assistance and medical aid to evacuation projects for the injured, as well as plans to rehabilitate health and educational infrastructure.

Notably, the scope of this operation extends far beyond its reach; its human connection and inclusiveness are underscored by the hundreds of thousands of beneficiaries, with aid being delivered to the Palestinian interior via aerial and secured land routes, despite persistent logistical and political challenges.

A significant number of injured individuals have been transported to UAE hospitals for treatment, overseen by specialized medical teams.
