The World Food Program is one of the many humanitarian groups trying to get aid into Gaza
The EPAA collaborated with the police, municipal bodies, the coast guard and Bee'ah for the containment operation.
Hana Saif Al Suwaidi, chairperson of the EPAA, said: "After containing the spill, we are working to assess any damages caused, while restoring the environmental system in the area. The support from other authorities was crucial in containing the spill, which would have otherwise caused severe damages to the environment and marine life."
Authorities have cautioned residents from going near the beaches to protect them from the harmful effects of the crude oil.
Al Suwaidi stressed on the need to raise awareness among ship crews about damages caused by oil spills and the preventive measures that need to be adopted to curb them.
