Ras al khaimah: In implementation of the directives of H.H. Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, and under the supervision and in the presence of Sheikh Ahmed bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qasimi Charity and Humanitarian Foundation, preparations have begun for the Saqr Humanitarian Ship at the Ras Al Khaimah Exhibition Centre. This initiative is in cooperation with Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 and involves the preparation of relief parcels.
According to Emirates News Agency, the preparations are a precursor to loading the aid onto the ship, which is set to depart for El Arish Port in Egypt. The mission aims to provide support to the people of the Gaza Strip. The aid includes food supplies, health items, shelter materials, and medical supplies, with an estimated total cargo of around 4,000 tonnes of humanitarian and relief aid. This effort is part of the UAE's comprehensive humanitarian action framework designed to alleviate the suffering of civilians in Gaza and cater to the needs of the most affected groups, especially children, women, and the elderly.
The preparation process has seen significant volunteer participation from various segments of society, including both citizens and residents. These volunteers have been instrumental in packing and assembling the relief parcels, highlighting the spirit of social solidarity and humanitarian cohesion that characterizes UAE society.
This initiative aligns with the UAE's established humanitarian approach and the commitment of its leadership to support the Palestinian people amid the challenging conditions in the Gaza Strip. It embodies the country's values of solidarity and generosity, which are central to its humanitarian policy.
The Saqr Humanitarian Ship represents the synergy of national efforts within Operation Chivalrous Knight 3. It underscores the leading role of Ras Al Khaimah in advancing the UAE's humanitarian initiatives and reinforcing its active involvement in regional and international relief and humanitarian endeavors.
