The Saqr Humanitarian Ship has arrived at Al Arish Port in the Arab Republic of Egypt, carrying more than 4,000 tonnes of humanitarian and relief aid to support the brotherly people of the Gaza Strip. The shipment comes as part of the UAE's ongoing humanitarian efforts under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.

The aid cargo includes essential food supplies, shelter materials such as winter clothing and basic living necessities, as well as medicines, medical consumables and equipment. These supplies aim to alleviate the suffering of civilians and meet urgent humanitarian needs, particularly for children, women and the elderly.

In this context, Ahmed Rashid Al Zaabi, Secretary-General of the Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qasimi Charity and Humanitarian Foundation, said, "Today, we welcome the Saqr Humanitarian Ship -- a vessel filled with love, generosity and brotherhood -- carrying more than 4,000 tonnes of consumable goods, medical supplies, medicines, food items and dates. This shipment is a gift from the UAE to our brothers in the Gaza Strip on the occasion of the Holy Month of Ramadan."

Upon the ship's arrival at Al Arish Port, it was received by the UAE Humanitarian Aid Team, which immediately began unloading the relief supplies and transporting them to the UAE humanitarian logistics centre in Al Arish, in preparation for their entry into the Gaza Strip in coordination with the relevant official authorities and humanitarian partners.

Hamad Obaid Al Zaabi, UAE Ambassador to the Arab Republic of Egypt and Permanent Representative to the League of Arab States, commended the significant efforts exerted by the UAE Humanitarian Aid Team stationed in Al Arish to ensure the delivery of assistance to Gaza. He affirmed that these continuous efforts reflect the UAE's deeply rooted humanitarian values in supporting the brotherly Palestinian people.

The aid ship is the 12th relief vessel dispatched by the UAE to support the Gaza Strip under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, reaffirming the country's firm humanitarian approach in extending aid to peoples affected by crises.

While I appreciate the humanitarian aid, I can't help but think of the suffering in our own country. We have millions who need food and shelter too. Our government and wealthy citizens should also show this level of commitment to our own people.

Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 is a powerful name for a noble mission. The 12th ship! This is sustained commitment, not just a one-time photo op. More nations should follow this example of consistent support.

The logistics of getting 4000 tonnes of aid from a ship to the people who need it is immense. Hats off to the UAE Humanitarian Aid Team on the ground. Coordination is everything in these crises.

Winter clothing and medicines are critical. The focus on children, women, and the elderly shows they've thought about the most vulnerable. This is what true 'vasudhaiva kutumbakam' (the world is one family) looks like in action.

It's heartening to see aid reaching through Egypt. Hope it gets distributed fairly and quickly to those in need without any hurdles. The people of Gaza have suffered enough.
