Abdullah, UN Gaza aid chief discuss relief efforts

Sheikh Abdullah and Kaag discussed the severe humanitarian conditions affecting civilians in the Gaza Strip…reports Asian Lite News

H.H. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, has met with Sigrid Kaag, UN Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza, in New York.

During the meeting, held on the sidelines of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly, Sheikh Abdullah and Kaag discussed the severe humanitarian conditions affecting civilians in the Gaza Strip, and explored ways to strengthen the international response to the worsening crisis in the Strip.

They also reviewed regional and international efforts aimed at achieving a ceasefire in Gaza, which would facilitate the safe, sufficient and sustainable delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians.

Sheikh Abdullah reaffirmed the UAE’s steadfast commitment to supporting the brotherly Palestinian people, expressing the UAE’s keenness to cooperate with the United Nations and international partners to deliver necessary humanitarian assistance, helping to alleviate the suffering of affected civilians in the Strip.

The meeting was attended by Lana Zaki Nusseibeh, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs for Political Affairs, and Ambassador Mohamed Abushahab, Permanent Representative of the UAE to the United Nations.

UAE provides essential supplies

 The UAE continues to distribute essential supplies to families and children in Gaza as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, in line with its ongoing humanitarian efforts in this regard.

As part of its various initiatives, the UAE distributed milk and basic supplies for children to displaced Palestinian families in the city of Khan Younis, to support them and provide their essential needs amidst the dire conditions they have been facing for months, which have led to shortages of basic necessities for children.

Through the volunteer teams of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, the UAE provided milk and food supplies to children in Khan Younis, given the urgent need and the difficulty in accessing them due to the current situation in the Strip.

The UAE, through Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 and its daily relief campaigns and aid, aims to alleviate the suffering of displaced persons and provide essential needs in shelters, hospitals, and health centres after the worsening situation in Gaza.

From the very first moment, the UAE swiftly provided assistance and support to all affected segments in the region.

Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 provides humanitarian aid to the displaced in the Gaza Strip, including food parcels, supplies for children and women, tents, vegetables, and water, in a humanitarian effort aimed at easing the suffering of the displaced and supporting them in these difficult circumstances. This reflects the UAE’s long-standing commitment, since its foundation, to support countries and peoples in need.
