The delivered supplies included essential food items and specially curated Eid clothing parcels for families, comprising clothes, toys, sweets, and various products for all family members.

 

The primary objective of the mission was to cater to the needs of the Palestinian people in Gaza during Eid al-Fitr, aiming to instill hope and joy while alleviating their hardships.

 

Targeting remote areas in northern Gaza inaccessible by land, the operation has now delivered a total of 1938 tonnes of food and relief supplies since the launch of "Birds of Goodness."

 

This recent initiative reaffirms the UAE's dedication to assisting the people of Gaza, with the total aid provided exceeding 2308 tonnes.

 

This support encompasses shipments delivered via the Karam Abu Salem crossing and airdrops coordinated through the "Birds of Goodness" campaign.
