UAE sends 40 tonnes of aid to Gaza as extreme cold increases infant death toll

The UAE has sent another aircraft, loaded with 40 tonnes of aid, to the Gaza Strip as infant deaths from hypothermia and malnutrition have increased. The shipment was sent on Tuesday via Egypt’s Rafah border crossing as part of the UAE’s Gallant Knight 3 operation, in partnership with the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC), Zayed Humanitarian Foundation and Sharjah Charity Foundation. The supplies included milk and nutritional supplements for infants, and winter clothes, in addition to relief bags containing basic supplies for families.
