The convoy included several trucks heading to Gaza as part of the ERC's role as Egypt's national mechanism for coordinating humanitarian assistance to the strip.
The shipment included food baskets, flour, medical supplies, relief materials, and fuel to support the operation of hospitals and vital facilities.
The ERC also sent essential supplies, including clothes and tents, to help shelter affected Palestinians.
The organization stated that it has maintained a presence at the border since the onset of the crisis, emphasising that the Rafah crossing has never been closed from the Egyptian side.
It added that its logistics centres remain on standby as it continues efforts to deliver humanitarian and relief aid to Gaza.
The ERC said total aid delivered to the strip has exceeded one million tons, supported by the efforts of more than 65,000 volunteers.
The latest dispatch comes as humanitarian and security conditions in Gaza continue to worsen due to the Israeli attacks in the strip in breach of the ceasefire between Tel Aviv and Hamas announced in October 2025.
Israeli strikes have killed at least 1,024 Palestinians killed and thousands wounded since the ceasefire took effect, bringing the total toll since the start of the Israeli genocidal war on the strip in October 2023 to at least 73,035 killed and 173,368 injured, most of them women and children.
On Saturday, an Israeli strike on an apartment building in Gaza City killed five Palestinians, including two children. And on Monday, an Israeli strike killed a teenage girl Monday as she walked to her high school to take an exam in Gaza City.
At the same time, the UN Security Council heard warnings that the ceasefire was failing amid continued attacks, worsening humanitarian conditions and restrictions on relief operations. Palestinian health ministry figures put the post-ceasefire toll at about 1,000 killed and 3,000 injured at that point.
UNICEF also warned last week that at least 265 Palestinian children had been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire was announced, equivalent to an average of one child per day over more than eight months.
The agency said more than 400 children had also been injured since the truce was declared, many with severe, life-altering wounds, while Gaza’s children continue to face deep psychological trauma, displacement, and loss.
