The aid includes shipments of flour, food, and medical supplies.
The aid shipments are the largest since Israel imposed an all-out blockade on the strip on 1 March, which pushed most of the 2.3 million Palestinians into a famine.
They come amid widespread condemnation by dozens of international aid organisations and Western, Arab, and muslim nations of the Israeli policies of starving 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.
Images of tens of dead, emaciated people, including children, sent shivers down the spines of millions around the world.
On Thursday, 180 trucks of various aid are expected to enter the Gaza Strip, including 137 trucks carrying flour and the rest food supplies.
Al-Qahera News added that Egypt is intensifying its efforts with all international parties to bring more aid into the Gaza Strip during the current period.
The Egyptian Red Crescent is increasing its readiness to provide more aid to Gaza in the coming hours, added the Egyptian news outlet.
The UN has previously estimated that 600-800 humanitarian aid trucks are needed daily to keep the Gaza population alive.
The Israeli army has killed nearly 1,000 aid-seeking Palestinians at US-Israeli so-called 'aid centres' in the strip since May.
Israel has not allowed any milk, meat, poultry or fish to enter the strip since March, thus denying the population of basic sources of protein.
