Arab Parliament delegation inspects UAE's humanitarian efforts in Gaza through Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 at Al Arish Floating Hospital.

"These humanitarian initiatives reflect genuine Arab values and a shared sense of Arab solidarity. – Mohammed Ahmed Al Yammahi"

Al Arish, June 29

A high-level delegation from the Arab Parliament, headed by Mohammed Ahmed Al Yammahi, President of the Arab Parliament, visited the UAE Floating Hospital in the city of Al Arish.

The delegation conducted a comprehensive tour of the hospital's various departments and reviewed the medical and humanitarian services provided to patients.

During the visit, the delegation members met with several Palestinian patients receiving treatment at the hospital. They listened to their experiences regarding the level of healthcare and humanitarian support offered by the Emirati medical teams.

The delegation was also briefed on the progress of "Operation Chivalrous Knight 3" in Al Arish, which is part of the UAE's efforts to support the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

The delegation learned about the operation's management mechanism and the types of assistance being provided, which include food and health packages, kits for children and women, clothing packages for children, and various other forms of relief aid. Delegation members participated in the packing of some of these aid packages.

Al Yammahi praised the significant efforts made by the UAE in supporting the Palestinian people and alleviating their suffering, affirming that these humanitarian initiatives reflect genuine Arab values and a shared sense of Arab solidarity.

The UAE Floating Hospital is considered one of the UAE's most prominent humanitarian initiatives under "Operation Chivalrous Knight 3".

It was launched on February 23, 2024, to provide comprehensive healthcare services to those injured in the Gaza Strip.

The hospital is staffed by specialised medical teams and equipped with advanced capabilities to deliver urgent medical care and psychosocial support to the wounded.

Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 began on November 5, 2023, under the directives of Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President, to support the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Since its launch, the UAE has provided over 70,000 tonnes of relief, medical, and food aid, demonstrating its deep commitment to alleviating the suffering of the Palestinian people. (ANI/WAM)

While this is good work, I wonder why Arab nations don't do more to permanently resolve the Palestine issue? Temporary aid is helpful but not a solution. India has been consistent in supporting Palestine's cause at UN for decades.

The medical teams deserve our respect! 🇮🇳 Indian doctors have also done similar humanitarian work worldwide. Remember how we helped during COVID? Proud of all healthcare warriors who serve humanity without borders.

Interesting to see how the UAE is using its resources for good. 70,000 tonnes of aid is massive! Makes me think - with India's growing economy, maybe we could launch similar floating hospitals for disaster zones in our region.

The psychosocial support mentioned is crucial. War trauma affects generations. India has experience in this - we helped Bangladesh refugees in 1971. More countries should focus on mental health in humanitarian missions.

While appreciating UAE's efforts, let's not forget India's own "Operation Dost" for Turkey earthquake victims. Our armed forces and medical teams did outstanding work there. Every nation helping others deserves praise 🙌
