In a powerful display of solidarity and humanitarian commitment, the National Alliance for Civil and Development Work launched its 11th relief convoy to Gaza on Saturday, with strong participation from civil society organizations — notably the Abou El-Enein Foundation for Social and Cultural Work.
Hundreds of volunteers from the Foundation took part in preparing the trucks loaded with food, medical, and relief supplies over the past several days. Their efforts form part of a broader national response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, reflecting Egypt’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people.
The convoy’s departure was attended by Dr. Khaled Abdel Aziz, Chairman of the National Alliance's Board of Trustees, MP Mohamed Abou El-Enein, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and Chairman of the Abou El-Enein Foundation, and Ambassador Nabila Makram, Head of the Technical Secretariat of the Alliance.
In his remarks, Abou El-Enein said that the Foundation’s participation follows direct instructions from Egypt’s political leadership and embodies the collective conscience of the Egyptian people. He emphasized that the Foundation had mobilized all logistical and human resources to ensure the success of the mission, with hundreds of volunteers working tirelessly on sorting, packaging, and transportation. He added that coordination efforts were made to ensure the swift and efficient delivery of aid.
Ambassador Nabila Makram expressed pride in the scale of the societal engagement, noting that the convoy represents the true power of Egyptian civil society. “The National Alliance has become a unifying platform that transforms the emotions of the Egyptian people into real action,” she said, praising the Abou El-Enein Foundation and other partners for their noble commitment and rapid response.
Convoy Contents and Logistics
The convoy included trucks filled with thousands of boxes of dry food, ready meals, hygiene products, blankets, bottled water, and children’s supplies — all prepared according to strict quality and packaging standards. Field coordination points were also established between Alliance teams and Rafah Crossing officials to ensure the safe and direct delivery of aid to Gaza residents.
Ongoing Commitment Since October 2023
This convoy is part of a sustained effort by the Abou El-Enein Foundation, which has been actively involved in relief missions since the war on Gaza erupted in October 2023. The initiatives operate under the supervision of the National Alliance and in close coordination with the relevant authorities.
Through its involvement in the 11th relief convoy, the Abou El-Enein Foundation continues to affirm that civil society in Egypt is not merely a charitable actor, but a strategic humanitarian partner capable of responding to crises and reinforcing the state’s role on both national and regional levels.
