The UAE has airlifted 57 patients from the Gaza Strip, along with their family members.

This brings the total number of evacuees under the UAE’s Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 to nearly 3,000 since October 2023.

The latest mission was conducted through Ramon Airport in Israel and the Karam Abu Salem crossing.

It's the 29th medical evacuation carried out by the UAE International Aid Agency in line with President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s directive to treat 1,000 wounded Palestinians and 1,000 cancer patients in hospitals across the Emirates.

The UAE also continues to provide medical care through its floating hospital off Egypt’s coast and its field hospital in southern Gaza, which serve hundreds of patients each day.
