The fourth UAE aid ship bound for Gaza arrived on Thursday at the port of Arish in the Egyptian governorate of North Sinai, in preparation for the entry of its cargo into the Gaza Strip via the Rafah crossing, in coordination with the Egyptian authorities.
The ship set sail from the port of Fujairah in the UAE on July 8 as part of Operation "Chivalrous Knight 3," launched by the UAE to support the Palestinian people in Gaza amidst the difficult circumstances they have been experiencing.
The ship is the fourth to arrive in Arish as part of the "Chivalrous Knight 3" initiative and the eighth UAE aid ship to the Gaza Strip. It is also the largest UAE aid ship sent to Gaza in terms of cargo and diversity of contents.

The cargo of the ship was provided by the Emirates Red Crescent, the Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation, and the Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation, and was transported by 313 trucks that unloaded their cargo onto the ship.
Rashid Mubarak Al Mansouri, Secretary-General of the ERC, said, "Since the beginning of the difficult circumstances experienced by our Palestinian brothers, the UAE has continued to fulfill its humanitarian and relief role in helping them by all available means." This is in accordance with the directives of President Sheikh Mohamed.
Al Mansouri stressed that the arrival of the fourth ship to the Gaza Strip is an important step, as it is the largest in terms of cargo and the diversity of aid, covering various needs of the Palestinians.
As part of Operation "Chivalrous Knight 3", the UAE has launched a number of initiatives, including the establishment of two field hospitals, one inside the Gaza Strip and the other a floating hospital off the coast of Al Arish city, in addition to the establishment of five automatic bakeries. Flour has also been provided to eight existing bakeries in Gaza, and six desalination plants have been established that produce 1.2 million gallons per day, which are pumped into the Gaza Strip and benefit more than 600,000 people.
The Joint Operations Command had also launched Operation "Birds of Goodness" to airdrop humanitarian aid to isolated areas in the northern Gaza Strip that cannot be reached by land. The total amount of aid dropped so far is 3,382 tonnes of relief and humanitarian supplies.
