Egyptian Red Crescent Sends Massive Aid Convoy to Gaza with Over 131,000 Food Baskets

On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, the Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC) dispatched its 281st “Zad Al-Ezza… From Egypt to Gaza” convoy to deliver essential humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. Serving as the primary national mechanism for coordinating and distributing relief to the Palestinian people, the convoy transported tons of vital supplies.

The shipment included over 131,000 food baskets, flour, relief materials, medical supplies, and critical petroleum products necessary to keep hospitals and other vital facilities operational in the Strip. Since the beginning of the crisis, the ERC has maintained a constant presence at the border, keeping its logistics centers prepared and continually intensifying its relief efforts.

To date, the total volume of aid successfully delivered has surpassed one million tons, driven by the dedication of more than 75,000 volunteers from the organization.
