A new convoy of aid sent by the UAE has entered Gaza, it was confirmed. The convoy of 38 lorries arrived via Egypt’s Rafah border crossing, state news agency Wam reported. There were 18 lorries carrying food and medical aid, while another 20 were stocked with equipment for operating a new water pipeline through which the UAE will supply desalinated water to the southern Gaza Strip. Under the project, water will be delivered from the Egyptian border, Wam said. The 6.7km pipe will link the desalination plant built by the Emirates on the Egyptian side to displaced Palestinians between Khan Younis and Rafah.
