Egyptian Red Crescent delivers 70,000 food baskets to Gaza
The Egyptian Red Crescent dispatched its 258th ‘Zad El-Ezza’ convoy to the Gaza Strip on Monday, August 17, 2026. This convoy included over 70,000 food baskets, along with flour, relief supplies, medical equipment, medicines, and petroleum products essential for hospitals and vital facilities. The organization has been a key national mechanism for coordinating aid to Gaza, maintaining a continuous presence at the border since the crisis began and keeping the Rafah crossing open on the Egyptian side. With the help of over 75,000 volunteers, the Egyptian Red Crescent has delivered more than one million tons of humanitarian and relief aid through its logistical centers.
