UAE's Humanitarian Commitment: $15 Million Pledged for Gaza Aid Efforts

 



In a significant display of humanitarian commitment, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has pledged $15 million to support the 'Amalthea Fund' for humanitarian response in Gaza. This fund, established to facilitate and coordinate the flow of aid into Gaza, aims to ensure effective delivery of essential supplies to those in need. Additionally, the fund seeks to bolster the capacity for humanitarian aid flow into Gaza by providing flexible funding modalities, enabling various stakeholders to enhance their contributions to the humanitarian response efforts.


Amidst ongoing crises in Gaza, the UAE has consistently demonstrated its dedication to alleviating the suffering of its residents. Collaborating with the Jordanian Air Force, the UAE conducted aid drops, delivering a total of 66 tonnes of aid and relief materials to remote and isolated areas. Since November, the UAE has dispatched nearly 40,000 tonnes of urgent supplies to Gaza through a combination of air and land routes, showcasing its unwavering support for those affected by the conflict.


Despite the challenges posed by the conflict, the UAE remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting Gaza's population. Notably, the UAE has facilitated medical treatment for hundreds of individuals from Gaza, accompanied by 635 family members. Through these concerted efforts, the UAE continues to play a pivotal role in addressing the urgent needs of Gaza's vulnerable population and promoting stability and resilience in the region.
