The cargo consists of 4,680 tonnes of essential food supplies, 2,160 tonnes of shelter materials, tents and clothing as well as 360 tonnes of medical supplies and four water tanks. “This initiative embodies the unity and co-ordination of UAE humanitarian and charitable organisations that have joined efforts to uphold the nation’s values of solidarity and swift response in providing aid to the Palestinian people,” state news agency Wam reported on Friday evening.
