The UAE welcomed the 15th group of injured Palestinian youngsters and cancer patients on Friday as a show of unwavering solidarity and support for Palestinians.

When medical personnel arrived, they moved some patients right away to hospitals so they could receive care, and others were brought to their homes in the Emirates Humanitarian City.  

The patients' families conveyed their gratitude to the UAE and its leaders for the magnificent act of humanitarianism. The UAE was commended for its prompt action and unwavering support for the Palestinian people in difficult circumstances. They also praised the efforts of the volunteer and medical teams for providing the patients with steadfast support throughout their journey.

The United Arab Emirates launched "Operation Chivalrous Knight 3" to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza as part of its unwavering support for the region. Along with establishing a 150-bed field hospital in Gaza, the UAE also built a floating hospital with all the necessary medical amenities in Al Arish port.
