Dubai Humanitarian Launches Winter-Aid Air Bridge for Gaza via Egypt

Dubai Humanitarian has begun an air bridge to send winter relief supplies to Gaza, with the first flight reaching Al Arish in Egypt ahead of onward transfer. The shipment includes essential supplies and thermal blankets for UNICEF, with children and other vulnerable people among the intended recipients. Dubai Royal Air Wing is operating C-130 flights carrying about 9 metric tonnes each, and at least 3 more flights are planned in the coming days. The operation follows directives from Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and uses a coordinated UN80 sourcing arrangement involving UN agencies.
