A humanitarian aid convoy from the UAE has arrived at the Rafah border crossing in Gaza, bringing with it over 1.6 million items of winter clothing and blankets.

This convoy is part of the Emirates Red Crescent’s annual winter campaign called “Be Their Warmth,” which aims to provide urgent relief to Palestinians enduring the harsh winter conditions during Israel’s war on Gaza.

The convoy consists of 10 trucks filled with clothing and blankets. The Emirates Red Crescent is also appealing for donations from philanthropists to support heating, medical aid, food packages, and other essential services.

Donations can be made in person or through various channels such as the organization’s website, bank deposits, smartphone apps, text messages, a toll-free number, cash donation boxes, and electronic devices.
