The UAE on Monday carried out its 80th aerial aid operation to help ease the suffering in Gaza.
It was carried out in conjunction with Jordan, with Germany and Indonesia participating in the operation, state news agency Wam reported.
Aircraft flown over the enclave dropped essential supplies including food provided by charity organisations in the UAE. The drops bring the total amount of aid provided under the humanitarian Birds of Goodness initiative to 4,068 tonnes.
The operation "reflects the UAE’s steadfast commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and strengthening their resilience", Wam added. "These initiatives highlight the UAE’s pioneering role in international humanitarian relief, through fostering regional and global co-operation and promoting a culture of giving to alleviate the suffering of those affected by crises."
