The convoy, carrying 4,200 tons of aid, reflects the ongoing efforts of Al-Azhar and the Egyptian government to support the Palestinian people following the recent Israeli aggression, read a statement by EZCH.
The convoy includes 11 ambulances and 305 trucks laden with essential supplies, including food, medical supplies, medicines, baby milk, water, tents, quilts, and winter clothing.
This initiative is part of Al-Azhar's Help Gaza campaign, which has garnered international support with delegations from 85 countries contributing to the effort.
The Zakat and Charity House expressed gratitude to all participating nations and emphasized the continued commitment to providing aid and support to Gaza until full reconstruction, the statement added.
This is the tense convoy organised by the EZCH.
So far, the total aid delivered to Gaza by the EZCH has now reached 16,500 tons across 1,050 trucks since the start of the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023.
In the presence of Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, the convoy was launched on Sunday.
During the launching ceremony, which took place in Cairo's Al-Asmarat district, Madbouly praised the vital Egyptian role in the region in supporting the Arab people, particularly the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The convoy comes amid the return of thousands of displaced Palestinians to the heavily destroyed north of the Gaza Strip for the first time since the early weeks of the 15-month Israeli war under a ceasefire sealed on 19 January.
Under the ceasefire deal, brokered by Egypt, Qatar and the US, 600 aid trucks enter the strip daily during the first phase to address the urgent needs of a starving population.
