The Largest Gaza Aid Ship carrying Filed Hospital from the UAE has reached Egypt.

The UAE’s largest Gaza aid ship, Khalifa, carrying a fully equipped field hospital and 7,166 tons of vital supplies has docked in Egypt’s Al Arish Port on a major humanitarian mission. The Khalifa had set sail from Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi on July 21, loaded with 4,372 tons of food, 1,433 tons of shelter supplies, 860 tons of medical materials and 501 tons of health items. It is the eighth aid ship to be sent by the Emirates as part of the country’s Operation Gallant Knight 3, a relief campaign launched after the outbreak of war with Israel on October 7, 2023.

The Khalifa was met by a delegation of representatives from humanitarian and charitable groups, along with Ahmed Sari Al Mazrouei, Secretary General of the Emirates Red Crescent, and Egyptian officials.

The critical aid on board is to be transported from Egypt to the Gaza Strip, providing a vital lifeline to embattled Palestinians bearing the brunt of a worsening humanitarian crisis.

The UAE has provided more than $1.5 billion in financial support to Gaza since the start of the conflict, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. The comprehensive assistance has included more than 80,000 tons of aid to help alleviate the suffering of Gazans facing chronic food shortages and limited access to health care.

About 60,100 Palestinians have been killed and 150,027 injured since the war began, according to the latest figures released by the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry. The United Nations children’s fund said on Monday that an average of 28 children a day have been killed in Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip.

“Death by bombardments. Death by malnutrition and starvation. Death by lack of aid and vital services. In Gaza, an average of 28 children a day – the size of a classroom – have been killed“, UNICEF said on X. The agency said more than 18,000 children have been killed in Gaza over the past 22 months. UNICEF has added that “Gaza’s children need food, water, medicine and protection. More than anything, they need a ceasefire – now“.

While efforts are been initiated to resolve the worst humanitarian crisis, United Nation’s experts on Tuesday has called for the US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to be dismantled and for it and its executives to be held accountable for the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians seeking aid at its sites.

“The credibility and effectiveness of humanitarian assistance must be restored by dismantling the GHF, holding it and its executives accountable, and allowing experienced and humanitarian actors from the UN and civil society alike to take back the reins of managing and distributing life-saving aid“, the experts said.

They called the GHF, a non-government organisation formed by Israel with US support in February 2025, a “disturbing example of how humanitarian relief can be exploited for covert military and geopolitical agendas, in serious breach of international law“.

The experts said Israeli troops and foreign military personnel continue to indiscriminately open fire on people seeking aid at so-called distribution sites operated by the GHF. They added that about 1,400 people have been killed and more than 4,000 injured while seeking food. “At least 859 people have been killed around GHF sites since the beginning of GHF’s operations in late May 2025“.

They added that the sites are especially difficult to access for the most vulnerable people, such as women, the elderly, children and people with disabilities. “Under any circumstances, when war crimes are overlooked in exchange for temporary relief, impunity can become normalised“, the experts said. “Yet, in this case, we are leaving a state accused of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity in charge of feeding the population affected by the genocide, without oversight and with impunity. This overt hypocrisy is disturbing“.
