The UAE recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Khan Younis Municipality in Gaza Strip as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, aimed at repairing water lines and conducting emergency maintenance of water networks in the city. This initiative seeks to provide essential infrastructure services and alleviate the suffering of residents affected by the damaged water networks. The main water networks in the city have suffered approximately 70% damage, with 25 wells completely destroyed and 12 partially destroyed, exacerbating the water crisis and making it difficult for displaced people to access water.
Additionally, the MoU includes plans to repair water submersibles, extend external water networks, purchase water barrels for central filling points, supply operational materials, and maintain water submersibles to deliver water to densely populated areas with displaced populations. These efforts aim to prevent health disasters, improve the environmental situation, and provide essential services to residents. The UAE’s focus on humanitarian aid and water distribution in Gaza aims to alleviate the burden on the Khan Younis Municipality and support displaced families affected by the destruction and ground invasion of the city.
The UAE’s commitment to providing humanitarian aid and water to displaced families in Gaza Strip is a part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3. This operation involves daily water distribution to thousands of displaced people to help alleviate their suffering amidst the catastrophic conditions in the region. By supporting the Khan Younis Municipality and providing essential infrastructure repairs and maintenance, the UAE is working towards improving the living conditions for residents and ensuring access to clean water for all, especially in the areas heavily impacted by the conflict and displacement of families.
As part of its humanitarian efforts, the UAE’s MoU with the Khan Younis Municipality highlights the critical need for immediate solutions to repair and re-operate damaged water wells and reservoirs in the city. With a significant percentage of the main water networks destroyed, the provision of operational materials and maintenance services is essential to ensure water access for displaced people and prevent health crises. By addressing these urgent needs, the UAE aims to support the municipality in delivering essential services to residents and improving the overall living conditions in the city.
By focusing on repairing water infrastructure and providing essential resources, the UAE’s partnership with the Khan Younis Municipality underscores the importance of humanitarian aid in times of crisis. With a large number of displaced people in the region and damaged water networks hindering access to clean water, urgent action is needed to prevent health disasters and improve living conditions for residents. Through Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, the UAE demonstrates its commitment to supporting vulnerable populations and providing vital assistance to those in need during challenging times.
