CAIRO – 25 August 2025: Another aid convoy crossed from Egypt to Gaza on Monday through the Rafah crossing, arriving at the Kerem Shalom crossing for inspection by Israeli occupation forces before entering Gaza.
The 22nd convoy of the “Zad al-Izza... from Egypt to Gaza” includes trucks carrying large quantities of food, humanitarian aid, and various commodities, including sugar, oil, legumes, baby milk, flour, rice, and other essential goods, as well as medical supplies, therapeutic medicines, and personal items provided by the Egyptian Red Crescent, in addition to quantities of fuel.
The Egyptian Red Crescent has been present at the border as a national mechanism for coordinating and dispatching aid to Gaza since the beginning of the crisis.
The Rafah land port has never been closed on the Egyptian side, and it continues its readiness at all logistical centers and its ongoing efforts to facilitate the entry of aid. More than 36,000 trucks carrying nearly half a million tons of humanitarian and relief aid have arrived, thanks to the efforts of 35,000 volunteers.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced in a statement on Sunday that the death toll of the Israeli-forced famine rose to 289 Palestinians, including 115 children, after recording eight new deaths in the past 24 hours.
It is estimated that the strip needs 7.5 million meals per day to meet the food needs of the population, given the difficult humanitarian conditions, Al Qahera News Channel said.
According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report, more than 500,000 people are currently facing famine, with the crisis expected to spread across other areas of the strip in the coming weeks.
By the end of September, the IPC projects that over 640,000 people will face "catastrophic" hunger (IPC Phase 5), while more than 1.1 million will experience emergency-level food insecurity (Phase 4).
Severe conditions are also reported in northern Gaza, although lack of access has hindered full assessment.
