The 262nd convoy of the “Zad Al-Ezza: From Egypt to Gaza” humanitarian aid campaign entered the Gaza Strip on Sunday, August 23, 2026, through the Rafah land crossing toward the Karm Abu Salem crossing in southern Gaza, following a two-day halt on Friday and Saturday for the weekly weekend break.
The convoy’s trucks are carrying humanitarian and relief supplies, including meat, food baskets, flour, medical supplies, relief materials, petroleum products and fuel.
The trucks are being inspected by Israeli authorities at the Karm Abu Salem crossing before being allowed to enter the Gaza Strip.
The Egyptian Red Crescent has maintained its presence along the border since the beginning of the crisis, remaining on standby at all logistical centers and continuing efforts to facilitate the entry of humanitarian and relief aid. More than 75,000 volunteers have contributed to the organization’s efforts.
