215th convoy: Egyptian Red Crescent sends more than 1K tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza

CAIRO - 17 June 2026: More than a thousand tons of humanitarian aid were sent to Gaza to support our brothers and sisters in the strip. 

 

This was part of the 215th "Zad al-Izza" convoy launched by the Egyptian Red Crescent on Wednesday, carrying a number of trucks towards the Gaza Strip, as part of its role as the national mechanism for coordinating aid to the Strip.

 

The convoy carried approximately 1,997 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 Gaza 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, as the Rafah crossing has never been closed from the Egyptian side.

 

It has maintained its readiness at all logistical centers and its continuous efforts to deliver humanitarian and relief aid, which has exceeded one million tons, thanks to the efforts of more than 65,000 volunteers from the organization.
