Over 70,000 people are benefitting from this aid as part of the UAE's humanitarian operation 'Chivalrous Knight 3'.

Water tanks are distributed daily to displacement zones, with the help of volunteers and the local Water Authority.

The operation also includes running six desalination plants and delivering water through supply lines in Rafah and Khan Yunis.
