CAIRO, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) — Egypt on Sunday sent another humanitarian aid convoy from the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing towards the Kerem Shalom crossing for inspection by Israeli authorities before entering the Gaza Strip, Egyptian state television reported.
This is the 36th humanitarian aid convoy sent from Egypt to Gaza since July 27, organized by the Egyptian Red Crescent Society.
According to reports, the convoy carrying food (rice, pasta, flour and baby food), medicine and medical supplies left at dawn.
The previous convoy, No. 35, was sent out on Thursday and included mobile toilets for the first time to improve living conditions for displaced Palestinians whose homes were destroyed or damaged by Israeli strikes.
The aid also includes donations raised by residents of Egypt's Sinai region in support of Palestinians in Gaza, the statement said. The Egyptian Red Crescent Society is also coordinating with countries wishing to send aid to Gaza via Egypt.
Israel's military campaign in Gaza has killed 64,871 Palestinians and injured 164,610, as well as caused massive damage to infrastructure and worsened humanitarian conditions, according to updated figures released by Gaza health authorities on Sunday.
The government also said hunger and malnutrition in Gaza had killed 422 people, including 145 children, since the conflict between Israel and Hamas began on October 7, 2023.
Egypt has provided more than 70 percent of the total aid delivered to Gaza since the conflict began, with more than 550,000 tons of humanitarian aid transported in thousands of trucks, while some 5,000 trucks continue to wait /for entry permission from Israel/ on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing, Egypt's Foreign Ministry said in August. –0–
