UAE Evacuates 155 Patients from Gaza for Treatment
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has reinforced its UAE Humanitarian Mission Gaza role by evacuating 155 injured and sick patients for urgent medical care while continuing its air-drop operations to deliver essential supplies to civilians in crisis.
The evacuees included children, women, and elderly individuals suffering from critical injuries and chronic illnesses that local hospitals—overwhelmed by shortages and conflict—could not treat.
They were transported via UAE humanitarian flights to advanced medical facilities in Abu Dhabi and other emirates, with full coordination from international health organizations ensuring proper medical supervision.
This initiative provides life-saving care and relieves pressure on Gaza’s overburdened healthcare system, which continues to face medicine, power, and staff shortages.
Air-Drops Continue: 77th Mission Delivers Essential Supplies
Alongside evacuations, the UAE Humanitarian Mission Gaza completed its 77th humanitarian air-drop mission to Gaza, delivering food, water, and medical aid to high-risk, isolated communities.
This ongoing campaign—one of the UAE’s largest in recent history—has already delivered thousands of tons of aid by air and sea, offering sustenance and relief to families trapped in conflict zones.
UAE’s Humanitarian Strategy: Relief Beyond Borders
The UAE’s mission in Gaza reflects its broader foreign policy of “aid without borders.” From Africa to Asia, the country consistently ranks among the top global donors of foreign aid relative to national income.
In Gaza, it has been among the first responders, deploying field hospitals, creating air and sea aid corridors, and now expanding patient evacuation programs. Officials stress this mission is not political but purely humanitarian, aimed at saving lives.
Regional and Global Impact
The UAE’s role has drawn international recognition as a model of effective humanitarian diplomacy. By combining logistics, medical care, and partnerships, it shows how middle powers can meaningfully address global crises.
This mission enhances the UAE’s reputation as a stabilizing force in the Middle East, balancing domestic economic growth with global humanitarian leadership.
Voices from the Ground
Families of evacuated children expressed deep gratitude for the life-saving opportunity provided by the UAE Humanitarian Mission Gaza.
Medical staff in Abu Dhabi hospitals confirmed that many patients arrived in critical condition, but their recovery prospects improved significantly with advanced healthcare access.
Aid organizations partnering with the UAE noted that while challenges remain, this level of cooperation sets a positive precedent for future crises.
Looking Ahead: Sustainable Humanitarian Engagement
The UAE plans to continue both patient evacuations and aid air-drops as long as the crisis endures. Discussions are also in progress for long-term medical rehabilitation programs and expanded field hospital operations in Gaza.
Experts believe this sustained effort could inspire other nations to join or replicate such missions, creating a global humanitarian framework for crisis zones.
Conclusion
By evacuating 155 patients and conducting its 77th aid air-drop, the UAE has reaffirmed its position as a global humanitarian leader.
These actions bring immediate relief to thousands while setting an example of proactive, compassionate, and internationally coordinated aid.
Even amid conflict, the UAE demonstrates that humanity can prevail through solidarity, compassion, and action.
