The UAE has delivered a shipment of essential medicines and supplies to health authorities in Gaza.
The supplies were provided in association with the World Health Organisation, as part of the UAE's Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, state news agency Wam reported on Thursday.
The aid will be distributed to hospitals and medical centres to help address acute shortages and strengthen their ability to respond to emergencies, Wam said.
Among those receiving aid was Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, which was given several lorryloads of medicine and critical supplies. The delivery aims to boost the hospital’s capacity to handle urgent cases at a time when it is facing severe shortages of medicine and equipment, added Wam.
The UAE’s assistance was described by Dr Ibrahim Al Farra, director of the Palestinian Aid Delivering Committee at the Ministry of Health in Gaza, as a “lifeline” for all patients.
The continued supply of medicine and medical equipment revitalises hospitals and helps save the lives of the sick and wounded, he said.
