Despite ceasefire violations: Egyptian contractors enter Gaza to build ‘Green Rafah’
UAE-backed project to house tens of thousands of Gazans moves forward as Hamas ceasefire violations increase in frequency and intensity.
On Tuesday, September 29, 2026, the 286th humanitarian aid truck convoy, designated "Zad Al-Ezza," began its journey from Egypt to the Gaza Strip. The convoy headed towards the Karam Abu Salem crossing, with the intention of delivering essential supplies to the region. The trucks transported a wide array of relief items, including foodstuffs, tents, clothing, and petroleum products. These provisions underwent inspection by occupation authorities before being permitted to enter Gaza.
The Egyptian Red Crescent has been actively involved in the aid effort, maintaining a presence at the border since the crisis began. Notably, the Rafah crossing remained open on the Egyptian side throughout this period. The organization has also been on standby at various logistical centers, consistently working to deliver humanitarian aid. Over 75,000 volunteers have supported these efforts, demonstrating the commitment of the Egyptian Red Crescent to aid the people of Gaza.
This 286th "Zad al-Ezza" aid convoy marked a significant step in the continuous delivery of relief supplies to the Gaza Strip, underscoring the ongoing humanitarian presence of Egypt in the region.
