The Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC) dispatched the 284th “Zad Al-Izzah: From Egypt to Gaza” aid convoy to the war-battered enclave in the early hours of Sunday.

The convoy carries more than 2,794 tons of humanitarian supplies, including over 1,314 tons of food baskets and flour, more than 387 tons of relief supplies, and over 1,035 tons of fuel needed to operate hospitals and other vital facilities.

The total volume of aid delivered through the ERC has surpassed 1 million tons, with the participation of more than 75,000 volunteers from the organization.

Israel’s war on Gaza, now under a ceasefire marred by frequent Israeli violations, has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians since October 2025, devastated hospitals and critical infrastructure, and pushed the enclave toward famine.

The unrelenting strikes over two years have left nearly all of Gaza’s two million people dependent on humanitarian aid.
