The United Arab Emirates is continuing its humanitarian mission in support of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, carrying out the 62nd airdrop of aid under the "Birds of Goodness" initiative, part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.

While the aid is necessary, I wish more countries would focus on finding a permanent solution to the conflict. Temporary relief is good but innocent people continue to suffer every day. The international community needs to do more.

UAE and Jordan setting an example for the world! 👏 India should also increase its participation in such initiatives. We have the capability and the moral responsibility as a leading global power.

I wonder how much of this aid actually reaches the intended recipients. There should be better monitoring mechanisms. Still, better than doing nothing I suppose.

The name "Birds of Goodness" is so poetic for such a crucial mission. Reminds me of our own Operation Dost that India conducted. When will the world learn that war only brings suffering to common people?

3,829 tonnes is impressive! But looking at Gaza's population, it's still not enough. More countries need to step up. Why can't the UN coordinate better relief efforts?
