The shipment was facilitated by the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) as part of Operation Gallant Knight 2 to support the recovery of the Syrian people.
The initiative aligns with the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to help Syrians overcome the aftermath of the recent earthquake.
The Ministry of Defence’s Joint Operations Command said the shipment is an extension of the UAE’s ongoing efforts to provide aid, continuously delivered through an air bridge established since the earthquake hit on 6th February, 2023.
The largest to be sent to Syria, the fourth ship carried 2,823 tonnes of aid, comprising 1,662 tonnes of food supplies, 321 tonnes of food baskets, 41 tonnes of dates, and 777 tonnes of relief materials, in addition to 15 tonnes of building materials, which will be distributed in coordination with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent to earthquake-affected areas.
