The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said on Sunday that an aid convoy consisting of 50 trucks was sent from Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, to Gaza City and its north.
The association explained in a statement that the convoy was loaded with relief and food supplies, drinking water, medicines and emergency supplies.
It indicated that a group of the association’s volunteers in the Gaza and north governorates will receive the convoy and accompany it to distribute aid to the citizens in the two governorates.

Prime Minister Najib Mikati said today that ‘the rules of engagement at the southern border between Lebanon and Israel remain the same, but there are no international guarantees that we can be assured of.’
Speaking in an interview with the Turkish ‘TRT’ Station, Mikati wondered what guarantees can be given amidst the Israeli enemy’s criminal psychology in killing children, women and the elderly, and causing displacement and destruction? He said: ‘We see this aggression against Gaza taking place daily, and no one cares about it nor are there any international reactions.’
He added: “We do not want war and we are seeking peace, but at the same time we do not want anyone to desecrate Lebanese land.”
In response to a question, Mikati said: ‘We fully support the Palestinian cause, but we are trying as much as possible to spare Lebanon from entering into bloody battles.’
