Abdel-Ghaffar said Egypt would also provide ambulances to transport injured Palestinians and deliver urgent medical care, reiterating the Egyptian government's commitment to supporting Palestinians facing the current humanitarian crisis.
"We must address the needs of the Palestinian people," he said, emphasising the importance of continued humanitarian and medical support for those in Gaza.
Abdel-Ghaffar made the remarks during a tour of Egyptian Red Crescent warehouses in Arish, where relief supplies for Gaza are received and sorted.
Social Solidarity Minister Maya Morsi and an Arab League delegation, including Assistant Secretary-General Hossam Zaki and Haifa Abu Ghazaleh, Assistant Secretary-General and Head of the Social Affairs Sector, accompanied him.
The delegation was briefed on how aid arrives – by land, sea to Arish port, and air to Arish International Airport – and how volunteers prepare and transport it by truck to Gaza via the Rafah crossing.
Egypt has received 12,000 wounded and sick Gazans, including 2,500 children, since the ceasefire began on 19 January, North Sinai governor Khaled Megawer stated on Thursday.
The 15-month war killed more than 48,000 Gazans and wounded over 110,000, most of whom were women and children, and left Gaza's healthcare system collapsed.
