\n A UAE aid convoy has reached the Gaza Strip for the first time since the closure of the Rafah border crossing in May.\n <\/p>\n
Trucks loaded with 80 tonnes of relief materials entered the enclave via the Karam Abu Salem border crossing.<\/p>\n
The aid convoy is part of the UAE’s Operation ‘Chivalrous Knight 3’ to assist the people of Gaza.<\/p>\n
The latest batch of humanitarian assistance includes\u00a0tents, food parcels, dates and other vital supplies.<\/p>\n
The closure of the Rafah crossing on May 6, 2024, had halted land aid provisions, worsening the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and leading to shortages of food and essential supplies.<\/p>\n
