Since the beginning of the current winter season, the UAE has been keen to deliver winter clothing, tents, waterproof covers, jackets, blankets and gloves to help Palestinian children and families affected by the conditions in the Gaza Strip, and to work to alleviate the suffering of the affected groups, to confront the extreme cold.
