UAE sends more humanitarian aid to Gaza amid rising hunger, famine

The UAE is continuing its humanitarian support for the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip by carrying out today the 81st airdrop of aid under the ‘Birds of Goodness Operation’, in cooperation with the Jordan and with the participation of Germany and Indonesia.

The shipment included quantities of essential food supplies, prepared with the support of Emirati charitable institutions and organisations, to meet the needs of the population amid the dire humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip.

With the completion of this airdrop, the total aid delivered by air under the operation has surpassed 4,076 tonnes of food and other essential supplies, reaffirming the UAE’s unwavering commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and strengthening their resilience.

These initiatives highlight the UAE’s pioneering role in international relief efforts, mobilising regional and international cooperation and reinforcing the nation’s approach of giving to alleviate the suffering of those affected by crises.

Gaza’s hungry children slide towards starvation

The hunger crisis in Gaza is at a tipping point, with critically low supplies of fortified milk and special nutritious pastes exacerbating food shortages and pushing greater numbers of children into starvation, according to aid agencies, malnutrition experts and the United Nations.

Almost two years since Israel’s invasion, famine was formally confirmed for the first time in parts of Gaza on Friday with almost a quarter of the population facing starvation, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), the main global hunger monitor working with the U.N. and other aid agencies.
