(VOVWORLD) - Amid harsh winter conditions, Egypt on Tuesday delivered another major humanitarian shipment to the Gaza Strip, its 85th under the “Zad El-Izza: From Egypt to Gaza” initiative launched in late July.
The shipment, nearly twice the size of the previous day’s delivery, included 5,300 tons of food, 3,100 tons of medicine, 1,100 tons of fuel, and tens of thousands of blankets, warm clothing, and tents. The next shipment is already being prepared and may arrive within hours.
Over the past two years, Egypt has transported nearly 670,000 tons of humanitarian goods to Gaza, accounting for 70% of all international aid delivered to the enclave.
