Egypt continues to intensify its relief efforts for the Gaza Strip in line with the directives of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, the Commander of the Armed Forces, to support the Palestinian people in overcoming their current humanitarian crisis.
As part of these efforts, and in coordination with all relevant international and regional actors to help alleviate the deteriorating conditions in the territory, four Egyptian military transport aircraft have departed, carrying tons of food aid to be airdropped over areas in Gaza that remain inaccessible by land.
This operation reflects Egypt’s ongoing commitment to mitigating the severe humanitarian challenges facing Gaza’s population, particularly in light of the acute shortages in essential supplies.
It is being carried out in parallel with Egypt’s continued overland aid deliveries.Since the outbreak of the crisis, Egypt has played a leading role in facilitating the delivery of humanitarian assistance, coordinating with other nations to dispatch thousands of tons of aid, of which Egypt has contributed nearly 80 per cent of the total volume sent to Gaza to date.
