UAE's 1,039 tonnes of aid enter Gaza; US vetoes truce resolution

The UAE has announced the entry of a new humanitarian aid convoy into Gaza as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, continuing its efforts to support displaced Palestinians and alleviate the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.

The convoy included trucks carrying 1,039 tonnes of food supplies and flour, addressing urgent needs for approximately 1.3 million beneficiaries.

This latest delivery is part of the UAE's ongoing support for the people of Gaza, who are enduring dire humanitarian conditions amid severe shortages of essential food items.

Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 ensures the continuous and wide-scale flow of aid through all available channels.

Despite humanitarian challenges, the UAE continues to deliver food assistance within Gaza. Through the operation, it has been supporting 31 bakeries to help ensure the steady supply of bread and basic foodstuffs for displaced families facing deepening hardship.

US VETOES RESOLUTION: The United States on Wednesday vetoed a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza because it was not linked to the release of hostages, saying it would embolden Hamas.

All 14 other members of the council voted in favour of the resolution, which described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as “catastrophic” and called on Israel to lift all restrictions on the delivery of aid to the 2.1 million Palestinians in the territory.

The draft resolution had demanded “an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza respected by all parties.”
