UAE evacuates critically injured Palestinian child from Gaza

Sharjah 248 hours ago

Three-year-old Hatim Awad suffered the injuries during an airstrike that struck his neighbourhood in Gaza. Tragically, the attack also claimed the lives of his entire family, leaving the child to battle both physical and emotional trauma alone, an ordeal reflecting the suffering of thousands of children in Gaza Strip.
Dr. Abdulqader Almessabi, Chief Medical Officer at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City, confirmed that the child arrived at the hospital on 12th June 2025 under 'Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.' He stated that a comprehensive treatment plan was promptly implemented, and the child has shown significant improvement since beginning care.
The urgent evacuation underscores the UAE's continued efforts to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with a focus on providing medical and relief support to the most vulnerable, especially children and patients.
The evacuation was carried out in coordination with the relevant authorities to ensure the child's safety throughout the journey and during his transfer to Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City for specialised care.
This humanitarian initiative reflects the UAE's enduring commitment to standing by the Palestinian people and offering aid to those affected by conflict and disaster, particularly innocent children.

Palestinian family rescued after 37-day siege in southern Gaza

Rescue teams from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) evacuated a family of six from Abasan, east of Khan Younis, after they had been trapped for 37 days under severe humanitarian conditions. The operation, carried out on Saturday, followed days of coordination amid ongoing Israeli military activity that had made access unsafe. The family was transferred to the PRCS-run Al-Mawasi Field Hospital, west of Khan Younis, where they are receiving full medical and psychological care. The group had endured intense physical and emotional hardship during their isolation, as movement in the area remained highly dangerous due to Israeli targeting of civilians, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
