Egypt has lined up its 44th humanitarian aid convoy bound for the Gaza Strip, preparing to dispatch relief supplies as part of ongoing efforts to support Palestinians amid the worsening humanitarian crisis.
The convoy, expected to carry food, medicine, and other critical items, is part of a sustained series of aid deliveries that Cairo has organized since the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023. Egypt has since positioned itself as the primary humanitarian corridor, with trucks crossing through the Rafah and Kerem Shalom border points under coordinated arrangements.
Over the past year, dozens of Egyptian aid convoys have delivered thousands of tons of supplies, often in partnership with international organizations and donor countries. Despite logistical and security challenges, Cairo has maintained a central role in facilitating assistance to civilians in Gaza, where shortages of fuel, food, and medical supplies have triggered warnings of a deepening humanitarian catastrophe.
The 44th convoy underscores Egypt’s continued efforts to keep aid flowing into the enclave, though details on its size and departure schedule were not immediately disclosed.
