The Egyptian Red Crescent launched its 218th "Zad Al-Izza... From Egypt to Gaza" convoy today, Monday, as part of its role as the national mechanism for coordinating the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip.

The convoy included a number of trucks carrying approximately 3,142 tons of comprehensive humanitarian aid, including food baskets, flour, medical supplies, relief materials, and petroleum products to operate hospitals and vital facilities in the Strip.

The Egyptian Red Crescent also reinforced its efforts to provide the people of the Strip with basic necessities such as clothing and tents to shelter those affected.

The Egyptian Red Crescent has been present on the border since the beginning of the crisis. The Rafah crossing has never been completely closed from the Egyptian side, and the organization has maintained its readiness at all logistical centers, continuing its tireless efforts to deliver over one million tons of humanitarian and relief aid, thanks to the efforts of more than 65,000 volunteers.
