The convoy, comprising several aid trucks, was sent to Gaza as part of the ERC's role as Egypt's national mechanism for coordinating humanitarian assistance to the territory.
According to the ERC, the shipment included sacrificial meat donations, food baskets, flour, medical supplies, relief materials, and petroleum products intended to help operate hospitals and other essential facilities in Gaza.
The organization said it had also expanded support for Gaza's population by providing essential items such as clothing and tents to displaced families.
The ERC added that it has maintained a continuous presence at the border since the outbreak of the war in Gaza, noting that the Rafah crossing has never been closed from the Egyptian side. It said it has remained on alert across its logistics hubs to facilitate the entry of humanitarian and relief assistance into the Palestinian territory.
The organization said cumulative aid delivered through its operations has now exceeded 990,000 tons, supported by more than 65,000 volunteers working across its nationwide relief network.
The dispatch came as humanitarian conditions continue to deteriorate across the Gaza Strip, where aid agencies and local initiatives have warned of mounting psychological and social pressures on hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians living in overcrowded camps.
In southern Gaza, a community-led psychosocial support centre recently opened in the Mawasi area of Rafah to assist children and women affected by months of war, displacement, and insecurity, according to the Palestinian Information Centre.
The facility offers counselling sessions, recreational activities, educational games, art programmes, and other support services aimed at helping children cope with trauma and restoring a sense of normalcy amid the war.
The initiative was launched by local volunteers in response to a shortage of support services for displaced families in Mawasi Rafah and neighbouring Khan Younis, where large numbers of Palestinians continue to live in tents under difficult humanitarian conditions.
Organizers say the centre focuses on creating safe spaces for children and women, who have been among the groups most affected by the war and repeated displacement.
Aid workers and community organizations have repeatedly stressed that, alongside food, medical assistance, and shelter, psychosocial support has become increasingly critical as prolonged conflict, displacement, and family separation continue to leave lasting psychological scars on Gaza's civilian population.
The humanitarian crisis has deepened since the outbreak of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, with large-scale displacement, severe lack of basic services, and widespread destruction across the territory.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians remain sheltering in temporary camps in southern Gaza, where humanitarian agencies continue to warn of worsening living conditions and growing needs among vulnerable groups, particularly children and women.
