Egypt Sends Over 280 Trucks of Flour and Aid to Gaza to Ease Bread Shortages


CAIRO – The Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC) announced that authorities have dispatched over 280 trucks carrying flour and food baskets to help alleviate severe bread shortages in the Gaza Strip as of Sunday, Xinhua reported.

Over 90 trucks departed on Sunday, following more than 190 trucks sent throughout the previous week. The supplies will be handed over to the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza for distribution to bakeries whose operations have been disrupted, according to the ERC.

The ERC added that an aid convoy departed for Gaza early Sunday carrying over 3,676 tons of humanitarian supplies, including flour, food baskets, relief items, medicines, and fuel for hospitals, bakeries, and other essential facilities.

This marks the 302nd convoy from Egypt to Gaza since the ERC launched its pro-Gaza humanitarian aid initiative in late July 2025.

The ERC stated that it has maintained extensive involvement since the crisis began, helping distribute over 1 million tons of humanitarian aid through the services of more than 75,000 volunteers.

Gaza health authorities announced in their latest daily update on Sunday that four new deaths and 14 injuries were recorded over the past 24 hours, bringing the total toll since the Israel-Hamas ceasefire took effect in October 2025 to 1,551 deaths and 5,573 injuries.

The total number of Palestinian deaths since the conflict erupted on Oct. 7, 2023, has risen to 74,544, with another 175,692 injured, according to health authorities.
