The shipment, part of the Zad Al-Ezza initiative, also included tents, blankets, and clothing to help Palestinian families meet their basic needs ahead of winter.
According to the ERC, the convoy carried more than 1,421 tons of food baskets and flour, over 635 tons of relief supplies, and more than 1,209 tons of petroleum products needed to operate hospitals and other vital facilities.
Winter assistance comprised more than 2,130 tents, over 8,060 blankets and more than 4,196 items of clothing. The ERC has been dispatching essential winter supplies alongside its regular humanitarian shipments.
The latest dispatch follows Wednesday’s 300th aid convoy, which carried 3,439 tons of supplies.
The ERC said its teams have remained at the border since the crisis began, with logistics centres ready to prepare and facilitate deliveries into Gaza. Total humanitarian assistance has exceeded one million tons, supported by more than 75,000 volunteers.
Egypt’s aid coordination network receives, stores, and packages contributions from governments, UN agencies, and charities before sending them onward to Gaza.
The deliveries come amid persistent food shortages. On Monday, the World Food Programme announced it would end monthly assistance to 500,000 people in Gaza because of funding shortfalls.
The deliveries come as displaced Palestinians face growing shelter needs. The social development ministry in Gaza told Palestinian news agency Safa on Wednesday that it needed about 300,000 tents and 300,000 tarpaulins, warning that deteriorating shelters leave families exposed to flooding.
The ministry said restrictions on incoming supplies, limited availability of essential items, and the suspension of relief programs were hampering winter preparations. Field teams have been assessing needs at displacement camps and shelters since the beginning of October.
On Tuesday, the Palestinian Cabinet warned that cuts to international relief programmes could deepen hardship among vulnerable families and increase malnutrition risks for children and pregnant women, Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
The warning followed the World Food Programme’s announcement that funding shortages had forced it to end monthly assistance to about 500,000 people in Gaza.
The Cabinet urged donors to sustain funding and called for crossings to open so humanitarian supplies could flow unhindered.
It also reported that 23 shelters had been prepared and approximately 800 partially damaged homes rehabilitated to enable families to return. Repairs to another 1,000 housing units were underway in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme.
