In a humanitarian response aimed at alleviating the suffering of Palestinian displaced persons as winter approaches, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, directed today, Tuesday, November 10, 2026, to provide tents capable of accommodating 50,000 people in the Gaza Strip. This step aims to protect families facing harsh living conditions and growing risks due to rains and floods.
The initiative comes in light of the fragile humanitarian situation within the Strip, where thousands of displaced individuals find themselves facing daily challenges regarding access to suitable shelter that protects children, women, and the elderly from weather fluctuations. With the onset of the rainy season, fears multiply regarding the damage to temporary shelters and the exposure of families who have lost their homes to further suffering.
The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives foundation will undertake the provision of tents, which will be delivered and distributed across various areas of Gaza in cooperation with the
«Gallant Knight 3»
operation, launched by the UAE on November 5, 2023, to provide humanitarian, relief, medical, and food assistance to Palestinians.
The importance of this step is not limited to the number of targeted beneficiaries, but also includes its timing, as it seeks to provide additional shelter means before weather conditions worsen, helping to mitigate the risks associated with rain and water leakage into the living spaces of the displaced.
The initiative falls within a series of UAE humanitarian interventions in Gaza, which over past years have included sending food, medical supplies, water, and shelter materials, alongside supporting health services and the most vulnerable groups.
