The Ministry of Defence’s Joint Operations Command announced the successful completion of the 30th “Birds of Goodness” airdrop operation, delivering 125 tonnes of humanitarian aid and Eid clothing to northern Gaza.
On 10th April 2024, the largest airdrop to date took place, involving six aircraft: three C-17s from the UAE Air Force, two C-295s, and one C-130 from the Egyptian Air Force.
The airdropped supplies included essential food items and special Eid clothing parcels for families. These parcels contained clothes, toys, sweets, and various products for all family members. The mission aimed to address the needs of the Palestinian people in Gaza during Eid Al Fitr, fostering hope and joy while alleviating their hardships.
The operation targeted isolated areas in northern Gaza that are difficult to access by land. The total amount of aid delivered since the launch of “Birds of Goodness” has reached 1,857 tonnes of food and relief supplies.
This brings the total amount of aid sent by the UAE to northern Gaza to over 2,227 tonnes, including both land shipments through the Kerem Shalom crossing and airdrops via “Birds of Goodness.”
The “Birds of Goodness” campaign is part of Operation “Chivalrous Knight 3” to support the Palestinian people in Gaza.
