President Sheikh Mohamed allocates $15 million to boost Gaza aid fund

 

UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has allocated $15 million to boost aid for Gaza. According to the article, the money will go towards the Amalthea fund set up by Cyprus to facilitate and coordinate the flow of aid arriving in Gaza. 


Gaza's population is facing a severe humanitarian crisis with food insecurity and the risk of famine, according to UN assessments, as ceasefire talks between Israel and Palestinian factions remain stalled. The UAE's $15 million contribution is aimed at addressing this worsening situation by ensuring relief supplies can reach Gaza via land, air and sea routes. 

 

UAE aid is the largest airborne humanitarian delivery to Gaza to date, with 125 tons of food, clothing and essential supplies dropped off recently in cooperation with the UAE and Egyptian air forces. This latest airdrop, ahead of the Eid al-Fitr holiday, brought the total UAE aid delivered via 'Operation Chivalrous Knight 3' to over 1,857 tons. 


The funding allocation is part of the UAE's continued efforts to provide urgent humanitarian assistance and alleviate suffering in Gaza. It demonstrates the country's commitment to helping address the critical needs of Gaza's population during this time of crisis and scarcity. The money is hoped to boost the entry of vital food, medical and other relief items into the blockaded Strip via multiple channels.
