Dubai has launched another major humanitarian airlift to support emergency efforts in Gaza.
As part of its latest operation, Dubai Humanitarian has dispatched nearly 57 metric tonnes of essential medical supplies, worth over AED 4.3 million, to El Arish Airport in Egypt.
It 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.
The aid, provided by the World Health Organisation (WHO), is set to help over 250,000 people and includes trauma care and psychological treatment supplies.
The shipment left Dubai on April 23 aboard a Dubai Air Wing cargo aircraft and marks the 25th relief flight coordinated by Dubai Humanitarian in response to the Gaza crisis.
Officials say the supplies will be stored in El Arish and deployed into Gaza as soon as access is secured.
Since January 2025, Dubai Humanitarian has facilitated four dedicated airlifts to El Arish, delivering nearly 256 metric tonnes of WHO medical supplies.
