This morning, the Egyptian Red Crescent dispatched the 29th convoy “Zad Al-Izza.. From Egypt to Gaza,” carrying several trucks loaded with urgent humanitarian aid towards the southern Gaza Strip through the Kerem Abu Salem crossing, as part of its ongoing efforts as a national mechanism to coordinate aid to Gaza.

The 29th “Zad Al-Izza” convoy carried approximately 2700 tons of essential aid, including over 2500 tons of food baskets and flour, along with tons of necessary medical and relief supplies needed by the Gaza Strip. This comes within the framework of Egypt’s efforts to provide food and relief support to Gaza residents.

It is noteworthy 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 crisis began. The Rafah crossing from the Egyptian side has not been completely closed, and the organization has maintained readiness at all logistical centers and continued efforts to bring in aid, which has exceeded half a million tons of humanitarian and relief assistance, supported by 35,000 volunteers of the association.
