Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly launched the largest humanitarian aid convoy for the residents of the Gaza Strip under the banner “Sharing for Humanity”.

The convoy, consisting of 305 trucks, is loaded with an estimated 4,200 tonnes of food and humanitarian aid, along with 11 fully equipped ambulances.

It includes medical devices, essential supplies, medicines, ambulances, large quantities of non-perishable food items, ready-to-eat canned goods, clothing, blankets, as well as baby milk and food.

Madbouly noted that this marks the fifth convoy organised by the Tahya Misr Fund in collaboration with civil society organisations to provide assistance and relief to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
