The UAE and Jordan carried out the 69th drop of humanitarian aid into Gaza on Tuesday, alongside seven aircraft from Germany, Italy, Belgium and France.

The shipment included vital supplies, prepared with the support of UAE-based charities, as part of Operation Gallant Knight 3, under the directives of President Sheikh Mohamed, which aims to deliver food and relief supplies to the most affected areas of the strip.

There were also 20 lorries loaded with about 500 tonnes of food that entered Gaza through land crossings, as part of the UAE’s continuing efforts to deliver vital supplies by land and air, state news agency Wam reported.

The total amount of aid parachuted in by the UAE has now reached more than 3,924 tonnes of various relief items, said Wam. This includes food and essential supplies.

The Palestinian death toll since the war began on October 7, 2023 to 61,599, while 154,088 have been injured.

What is a robo-adviser?

Robo-advisers use an online sign-up process to gauge an investor’s risk tolerance by feeding information such as their age, income, saving goals and investment history into an algorithm, which then assigns them an investment portfolio, ranging from more conservative to higher risk ones.

These portfolios are made up of exchange traded funds (ETFs) with exposure to indices such as US and global equities, fixed-income products like bonds, though exposure to real estate, commodity ETFs or gold is also possible.

Investing in ETFs allows robo-advisers to offer fees far lower than traditional investments, such as actively managed mutual funds bought through a bank or broker. Investors can buy ETFs directly via a brokerage, but with robo-advisers they benefit from investment portfolios matched to their risk tolerance as well as being user friendly.

Many robo-advisers charge what are called wrap fees, meaning there are no additional fees such as subscription or withdrawal fees, success fees or fees for rebalancing.
