CAIRO - 28 September 2025: The Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC) announced the dispatch of the 43rd aid convoy from Egypt to Gaza, comprising several trucks filled with urgent humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
This comes as part of the ERC's ongoing efforts as a national mechanism for coordinating aid to Gaza, said the ERC in a statement on Sunday.
The convoy includes approximately 3,000 tons of urgent humanitarian aid, including more than 2,700 tons of food aid and flour, and approximately 300 tons of medical and relief supplies. This comes within the framework of the Egyptian efforts to provide food and relief to the people of Gaza.
The Egyptian Red Crescent has been present on the border since the beginning of the crisis. The Rafah crossing has never been closed on the Egyptian side, and it has maintained its readiness at all logistical centers. More than half a million tons of humanitarian and relief aid have been delivered thanks to the efforts of 35,000 volunteers.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza on September 28, 2025, the Gaza Strip hospitals received 77 martyrs and 265 injured due to the deliberate attacks of the Israeli occupation army over the past 24 hours.
These latest casualties bring Gaza's total documented death toll since October 7, 2023 to 65,926 martyrs and 167,783 injured, the ministry added.
