The 123rd humanitarian aid convoy left the Egyptian side of Rafah border terminal early Sunday en route to Karam Abu Salem crossing in southeastern Gaza.
The convoy, part of the “Zad Al-Izza… From Egypt to Gaza” aid initiative, is carrying essential relief and food assistance for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as part of continued Egyptian efforts to support Palestinian brethren, according to a well-placed source at Rafah terminal.
The assistance includes winter clothing, blankets and shelter tents, in addition to medical supplies needed by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society inside Gaza.
The Egyptian Red Crescent launched the “Zad Al-Izza… From Egypt to Gaza” aid initiative on July 27. The initiative includes thousands of tons of assistance, ranging from food supplies and flour to infant formula, medical equipment, medicines and large quantities of fuel.
