The convoy forms part of Egypt’s ongoing humanitarian operation to sustain aid flows into the enclave, as the ERC continues to act as the national mechanism coordinating assistance deliveries to Gaza.
According to the ERC, the convoy included around 460 tonnes of flour, over 760 tonnes of relief materials and personal care supplies, and approximately 1,435 tonnes of fuel to power hospitals and vital facilities in the Strip. It also carried more than 4,700 tents to shelter displaced families.
Meanwhile, the ERC said it continues to provide humanitarian services at the Rafah crossing, preparing to receive the 32nd batch of wounded and sick Palestinians, along with their companions, and facilitating their entry and exit procedures.
The organization has maintained a continuous presence at the border since the start of the war, keeping logistics hubs on high alert to ensure the sustained delivery of aid.
The convoy comes as humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip continue to deteriorate sharply amid the ongoing war, with widespread displacement, severe shortages of food and fuel, and mounting pressure on the healthcare system.
Egypt, working in coordination with the United Nations and international partners, has led one of the largest and most sustained humanitarian relief operations into Gaza, despite continued access constraints and security challenges at crossing points.
Since the outbreak of Israel’s war on Gaza in October 2023, Egypt has delivered more than 800,000 tonnes of aid through the Rafah and Karm Abu Salem crossings, according to official data. The operation has been coordinated by the ERC, which manages a nationwide logistics network and a volunteer force of more than 35,000 people.
Egypt’s assistance has included food supplies, medical aid, fuel, ambulances, and the deployment of four field hospitals to sustain basic services amid Gaza’s collapsing infrastructure.
The ERC has also handled hundreds of relief flights and maritime shipments, facilitated the evacuation and treatment of wounded Palestinians in Egyptian hospitals, and provided humanitarian support services for displaced families.
