The convoy, launched as part of the ERC’s role as Egypt’s national mechanism for coordinating aid deliveries to Gaza, included trucks transporting food baskets, flour, medical supplies, relief materials, and petroleum products needed to operate hospitals and other vital facilities inside the strip.
The ERC also reinforced its support for Gaza residents by providing essential supplies, including clothing, blankets, plastic sheeting, and tents for displaced and affected families.
The organization said it has maintained a continuous presence at the border since the outbreak of the war, stressing that the Rafah crossing on the Egyptian side has remained open.
The ERC added that it has remained on high alert across all logistical centres while continuing efforts to facilitate the entry of humanitarian and relief aid into Gaza. Total assistance delivered through its operations has now exceeded 960,000 tons, supported by more than 65,000 volunteers.
The latest convoy comes amid renewed diplomatic efforts to preserve the fragile Gaza ceasefire and mounting warnings from humanitarian agencies over worsening conditions inside the territory.
Hamas officials are currently holding talks in Cairo with Egyptian and international mediators aimed at preventing a collapse of the truce reached in late 2025, as tensions continue to rise over proposals linked to disarmament and post-war reconstruction.
The negotiations coincided with renewed violence after an Israeli strike on Wednesday killed the son of senior Hamas negotiator Khalil Al-Hayya, prompting Hamas to accuse Israel of undermining mediation efforts.
Meanwhile, UN agencies and relief organizations have warned that restrictions on fuel, generators, spare parts, and humanitarian supplies continue to disrupt hospitals, sanitation systems, and aid operations across Gaza, where much of the population remains displaced and heavily dependent on external assistance.
Aid groups have also reported a decline in aid flows into the territory in recent months despite ongoing ceasefire efforts, raising concerns over a worsening lack of food, medical supplies, shelter materials, and other essential goods.
