Cairo: Egypt launched its 80th humanitarian aid convoy to Gaza on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, carrying 12,250 tons of urgent food, medical, relief, and winter supplies, including more than 180,000 blankets, around 80,000 winter clothing items, and over 12,000 tents.

According to State Information Service Egypt, the shipment also includes more than 7,700 tons of food baskets and flour, over 3,000 tons of essential medical and relief supplies, and over 1,500 tons of petroleum products. The convoy is part of the Zad Al-Izza: From Egypt to Gaza initiative that Egypt launched on 27 July to accelerate the entry of emergency humanitarian aid to the war-torn territory.

Over the past months, the initiative has delivered over 130,000 tons of food, medical supplies, winter items, and fuel in hundreds of trucks, supporting hospitals, essential services, and the urgent needs of the population.
