Children from Gaza are being transported to the UAE.

The UAE is launching an initiative to bring pediatric patients requiring urgent treatment and their relatives from the Gaza Strip to the country.

The United Arab Emirates' (UAE) state news agency WAM reported that the first flight to rescue Gazan sick children, carrying 15 people including children and their relatives, landed safely after a journey from El Arish airport in Egypt to Abu Dhabi.

The flight is part of a medical aid initiative for 1,000 child patients in the Gaza Strip, initiated by UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The patients require urgent medical treatment for conditions such as serious injuries, severe burns, or cancer. Family members are allowed to accompany the children to the UAE.

The UAE normalized relations with Israel in 2020. Anwar Gargash, a diplomatic advisor to the UAE president, warned that the longer the crisis in the Gaza Strip drags on, the more dangerous it will become.

Meanwhile, the UN Humanitarian and Emergency Aid Coordinator, Martin Griffiths, continues to call on all parties to implement a "humanitarian ceasefire" in the Gaza Strip to allow essential goods to reach refugees and civilians who may be evacuated to safety.

"We are not asking for anything unreasonable. We are only calling for basic measures to meet the essential needs of civilians and control the crisis," he said, while also urging Hamas to release all hostages unconditionally to facilitate a ceasefire.
