Zayed Humanitarian Day serves as an occasion to celebrate the enduring legacy of generosity laid by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. With the UAE wise leadership's endless support, this legacy transformed the country into a global beacon of humanitarian giving.
In commemoration of this timeless occasion, the Joint Operations Command of the Ministry of Defence announced the implementation of the 18th airdrop of humanitarian and relief aid in north Gaza, as part of the "Birds of Goodness" operation.
Two C17 aircraft belonging to the UAE Air Force and a C130 aircraft belonging to the Egyptian Air Force participated in the airdrop operation.
The airdrop was carried out over inaccessible isolated areas in the northern Gaza Strip via three aircraft carrying 82 tonnes of food and relief aid, bringing the total amount of aid airdrops to 825 tonnes since the beginning of the operation.
The Birds of Goodness operation is part of "Operation Chivalrous Knight 3" to support Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
