Abu Dhabi [UAE], February 9: Preparations and loading operations began today for the Umm Al Emarat humanitarian vessel, as part of the UAE's ongoing efforts under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 to support the people of the Gaza Strip.
This step comes within the framework of the UAE's leading humanitarian efforts to strengthen the urgent humanitarian response, alleviate the suffering of those affected, and meet essential needs amid difficult humanitarian conditions.
