"We’re communicating with all international powers and influential regional parties to accomplish an immediate ceasefire and pacification that would preserve the lives of civilians on both sides," President Sisi stated.

Further, the Egyptian Coalition for Civil Work announced Tuesday preparing a caravan that consists of medical aid, food, and also doctors for Gaza Strip in fulfillment of the instructions of President Sisi.
