UAE aid ship arrives in Syria with 1,000 tonnes of food parcels – The National

A UAE aid ship carrying 37,500 food parcels has arrived at the Syrian port of Latakia today.

The shipment was under the directive of Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed, Ruler's Representative in Al Dhafra Region and chairman of the Emirates Red Crescent Authority, as part of Operation Gallant Knight 2.

It is part of the humanitarian flights launched by the UAE since the earthquakes in Syria and Turkey last month, the Joint Operations Command of the Ministry of Defence said.
