CAIRO, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) — Egypt sent 1,288 trucks carrying humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom crossing from July 27 to Aug. 17, the country's Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.
According to him, up to 5,000 trucks with humanitarian aid are still waiting to enter Gaza on the Egyptian side.
Since October 2023, Egypt has ensured the delivery of 550 thousand tons of medical supplies and food to Gaza, which is about 70 percent of the total volume of humanitarian aid sent to the enclave, the Foreign Ministry reported.
In addition, since the beginning of the crisis, planes flying from Egypt have airdropped humanitarian aid into the Palestinian enclave 168 times, delivering 3,730 tons of materials. 1,022 planes from donor countries have delivered 27,247 tons of aid to Egypt's El-Arish airport. 591 consignments of humanitarian aid have arrived at the country's ports.
From November 2023 to July 2025, Egypt provided medical assistance to wounded Palestinians by deploying 209 ambulances, receiving 18,560 wounded Palestinians and their accompanying persons and hospitalizing them in 172 hospitals.
In addition, 35,000 Egyptian NGO volunteers assisted in the delivery of humanitarian aid.
Since October 7, 2023, the ongoing Israeli military campaign in the Gaza Strip has killed 62,122 Palestinians and injured 156,758, the enclave's medical authorities said on Wednesday. The fighting has caused widespread destruction to infrastructure and worsened the humanitarian situation.
According to health authorities, 269 people, including 112 children, have died from hunger and malnutrition in Gaza. –0–
