A mass wedding involving 300 couples took place in central Gaza on Friday, supported by the United Arab Emirates. The event, held under the program titled 'Galant Night 3', aimed to assist couples who were unable to marry due to financial hardship. Around 20,000 people, including families, local leaders, representatives of international organizations, and residents, attended the ceremony.

Organizers said the couples were selected from thousands of applicants, with priority given to unmarried individuals facing economic challenges. Applications had opened in February. Alongside the wedding, newlyweds received gifts and assistance to help them begin their married lives. The ceremony began with a recitation from the Holy Quran, followed by the marriages, emphasizing Palestinian cultural traditions.

Both the national anthems of the United Arab Emirates and Palestine were performed during the event, symbolizing solidarity and cultural unity amid Gaza’s ongoing recovery from Israeli attacks.
