Under the guidance of HE Prof. Ahmad At-Tayyeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ash-Sharif, Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Supervisor of the EZCH. Today, Monday, the EZCH launched the sixth relief convoy to support and provide relief to our fellow people in Gaza, as part of the international “Help Gaza” campaign. The convoy includes 100 trucks, carrying approximately 2,000 tons of foodstuffs, drinking water, medical and living supplies, and large quantities of blankets, quilts, and mattresses.
Popular delegations from more than eighty countries around the world participated in preparing the EZCH convoy. It set off from the headquarters of the Al-Azhar Ash-Sharif this morning, heading to the Rafah land port on the Egyptian-Palestinian border, in preparation for its entry into the Gaza Strip. It is meant to provide relief to our fellows in the Gaza Strip. This is the sixth convoy in the Help Gaza campaign, and the second during Ramadan.
This convoy comes within the framework of the relief bridge launched by the EZCH, in the light of the continued Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip, for nearly 6 months. This humanitarian and health catastrophe is aggravating day after day, resulting in the martyrdom of more than 32 thousand, mostly children, women, and elderly, and more than 75 thousand injuries. It is a war of extermination and starvation waged by the Israeli occupation against Gaza. The EZCH has so far been able to launch 325 trucks, carrying approximately 6,000 tons of humanitarian and relief aid.
