Today, Sunday, new batches of humanitarian aid trucks entered from the Rafah land crossing in North Sinai, destined for the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

An official source at the Rafah land crossing confirmed that dozens of trucks loaded with food, medicines, medical supplies, and essential needs were allowed to enter through the Rafah sub-crossing gate towards the Kerem Abu Salem crossing for delivery to the Palestinian side.

It is noteworthy that the entry of aid trucks was halted on Friday and Saturday due to the weekend holiday.

Since July 27, a total of 3,484 trucks have entered through the Rafah land crossing until last Thursday, transporting about 27,000 tons of humanitarian and relief aid.

Meanwhile, the Egyptian Red Crescent early this morning dispatched the 26th “Zad Al-Izza.. From Egypt to Gaza” convoy, carrying more than 185 urgent humanitarian aid trucks heading to the southern Gaza Strip via the Kerem Abu Salem crossing, as part of its ongoing efforts as a national mechanism to coordinate aid to Gaza.

The 26th “Zad Al-Izza” convoy carried over 3,200 tons of necessary aid, including more than 3,100 tons of food baskets and flour, and over 100 tons of essential relief supplies needed by the sector. This comes within the framework of Egyptian efforts to provide food and relief support to the people of Gaza.

It is worth mentioning that the “Zad Al-Izza.. From Egypt to Gaza” convoy, launched by the Egyptian Red Crescent, started on July 27, carrying thousands of tons of aid including food supply chains, flour, baby milk, medical supplies, therapeutic medicines, personal care items, and tons of fuel.

The Egyptian Red Crescent has been present as a national mechanism to coordinate and facilitate aid to Gaza at the border since the beginning of the crisis. The Rafah crossing has not been completely closed from the Egyptian side, and the organization has maintained readiness at all logistical centers and continued efforts to allow aid entry, which has exceeded half a million tons of humanitarian and relief aid, supported by 35,000 volunteers.
