CAIRO – 25 September 2025 – The 42nd convoy of the "Zad Al-Izza… From Egypt to Gaza" initiative has been dispatched to the besieged Gaza Strip, the Egyptian Red Crescent announced in a statement.
The convoy comprises several trucks carrying approximately 3,400 tons of urgent humanitarian aid. This includes around 2,500 tons of food supplies and flour, over 700 tons of medical and relief materials, including tents, and more than 160 tons of diesel fuel.
This mission comes as part of Egypt’s ongoing efforts to support the people of Gaza with vital food and humanitarian assistance. It forms a key component of the national framework coordinating the delivery of aid to the strip.
Since the onset of the crisis, the Egyptian Red Crescent has played a pivotal role as the main coordinating body for aid deliveries to Gaza. Despite the challenges, the Rafah border crossing on the Egyptian side has remained partially open, enabling the continuous flow of humanitarian assistance.
The organization has maintained full logistical readiness across all its centers, ensuring the steady delivery of aid. To date, more than half a million tons of humanitarian and relief aid have been sent, made possible by the dedication of over 35,000 Egyptian Red Crescent volunteers.
