The convoys, consisting of 100 trucks, is part of the UAE's "Operation Chivalrous Knight 3" to support the Palestinian people during the conflict.

The Emirati team in Al Arish continues to ensure the aid is loaded and delivered to those in need inside the Gaza Strip, national news agency Wam reported.
