01:41A plane carrying the 13th group of injured Palestinians and cancer patients from Gaza touched down in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, having travelled from Egypt's Al-Arish airport.
Footage shows medical staff helping people on to the plane in Egypt, as well as patients and helpers disembarking in Abu Dhabi, with some injured people placed into ambulances, which were waiting to transport them to hospital.
According to media reports, 98 people were transferred, including 40 children with burns and other injuries, as well as cancer patients and 58 family members.
The Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported that the flight was part of a pledge made by President of the United Arab Emirates Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to provide assistance to 1,000 Palestinian children and 1,000 cancer patients.
The latest admissions took the total number to 1,154, including 585 cancer patients and wounded children, and 569 companions.
Assistant Foreign Minister for Health Affairs in the UAE, Maha Barakat, said that the hospitals were 'fully prepared to receive the rest of the children and their families', as well as provide 'comprehensive and integrated care'. The UAE has also taken part in a number of humanitarian airdrops over Gaza.
Fighting continues in Gaza for a sixth month after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on southern Israel on October 7, killing 1,139 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping over 200, according to Israeli officials.
Israel declared war on the group and a 'complete siege' of Gaza, with a large-scale campaign of air strikes. A ground incursion began at the end of the third week, with Israeli leaders vowing to 'wipe out' Hamas. Palestinian officials reported that more than 31,000 people had been killed at the time of publication.
The IDF has repeatedly stated that it is targeting Hamas locations and infrastructure in the enclave United Nations experts warned against 'collective punishment' for the people of Gaza, before predicting a 'humanitarian crisis' and then claimed that 'hell is settling in' for the region.
