Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai has directed Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) to supply tents for 50,000 people in Gaza, with distribution coordinated through Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 ahead of the winter season.
The tents are intended to protect displaced families from harsh weather conditions and the risk of flooding. They will be delivered across multiple areas of the Strip in collaboration with the operation, which was launched on November 5, 2023 under directives of President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to provide humanitarian, medical, and food aid to Palestinians in Gaza.
The UAE describes itself as the largest provider of humanitarian aid to Gaza. Over the three years since Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 was launched, the initiative has expanded from immediate relief into what officials call an integrated humanitarian system, covering food, medical care, water, shelter, healthcare, education, and psychosocial support for vulnerable groups including women, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
