Egypt Receives 30 Injured Palestinians via Rafah Border Crossing

Egypt received on Monday 30 injured Palestinians from the Gaza Strip via the Rafah border crossing for treatment in Egyptian hospitals on Monday.

The country also received 100 foreigners from the Palestinian side, nine UN staffers, and 39 others representing other international organizations into the strip.

Last week, the Egyptian Red Crescent in North Sinai delivered a new shipment of relief and humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border crossing. The aid includes food supplies, medicines, medical equipment, water, and tents such as flour, rice, blankets, and dates.

The Egyptian media revealed that a total of 170 trucks arrived at the crossing gate, including 25 trucks provided by the Egyptian Red Crescent, 15 Turkish trucks from the Turkish Red Crescent, 8 Saudi trucks from the King Salman Relief Center, a Kuwaiti truck, and a Belgian truck.

Moreover, there were 120 trucks from international organizations such as the Food and Agriculture Organization, Doctors Without Borders, UNICEF, Save the Children, and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The aid is expected to alleviate the suffering of the people in the Gaza Strip who have been facing a shortage of essential supplies due to the ongoing conflict and economic crisis.
