A UN delegation has visited a vital field hospital established by the UAE to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza.
Led by Dr Ramiz Alakbarov, UN resident and humanitarian co-ordinator in the Palestinian territories, the delegation toured warehouses storing humanitarian supplies and visited medical facilities playing a key role in Operation Chivalrous Knight 3. The UAE initiative is dispatching aid to Gaza.
“The UAE’s efforts serve as a model of humanitarian solidarity and effective crisis response,” said Dr Alakbarov, reported state news agency Wam.
“The initiative reflects a broader humanitarian vision aimed at strengthening community resilience and restoring optimism amid continuing challenges.”
The UN representatives were briefed on the medical and humanitarian services provided to the wounded and injured, as well as the mechanisms for receiving emergency cases and the round-the-clock operations of the medical team to deliver urgent care.
Meanwhile, an overview was given of the UAE’s continuous efforts to enhance the health sector capacity and alleviate the humanitarian suffering of civilians.
Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 has delivered a continuous source of relief to the millions impacted by conflict in Gaza.
The operation involves delivering aid through a continuous air, land and sea bridge, including food, medical supplies, shelter materials and water.
The establishment of field and floating hospitals, desalination plants, and efforts to transfer critical cases for treatment in the UAE, have been critical to relieving pressure on local health infrastructure.
Considerable challenges remain in the enclave, almost two months on from a US-brokered ceasefire agreement.
