Dubai Humanitarian airlifts critical medical supplies to Gaza

Dubai Humanitarian has airlifted another urgent consignment of relief supplies for Gaza, coordinated through El Arish in Egypt.

This comes following the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

A Boeing 747 departed from Dubai Royal Air Wing carrying 71.6 metric tonnes of medical supplies, including cholera treatment kits and emergency health kits provided by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the World Food Programme - United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot.

The supplies valued at AED 3.8 million are expected to support over 300,000 Gazans.

This marks the 19th shipment facilitated by Dubai Humanitarian since October 2023. 

Parallel to this, Dubai Humanitarian continues to support the international humanitarian community's global response efforts, including through the Global Humanitarian Impact Fund (GHIF).

Recently, Dubai Humanitarian also facilitated the transport of medical supplies to the Democratic Republic of Congo to combat the MPOX outbreak in collaboration with the WHO.
