” The convoy consists of 20 massive trucks carrying approximately 500 tons of urgent relief supplies, including food, clean water, blankets, quilts, medicines, and medical supplies. This is part of a total of 100 massive trucks that will sequentially reach our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

In a statement issued today, Wednesday, December 25, 2024, Zakat ana Charities Fund explained that the relief convoy included hundreds of tons of aid, with the participation of popular delegations from 85 countries worldwide. This response comes in response to the call made by HE Professor At-Tayyeb, who urged the continuous provision of relief and humanitarian support to our fellow people in Gaza, who are facing tragic conditions due to the brutal Israeli aggression and the severe blockade since October 7, 2023.

This aggression has resulted in significant human and material losses, targeting civilians and infrastructure, including UN facilities and staff, causing the displacement of more than 1.9 million Palestinians and aggravating the suffering of the population, with the prevention of humanitarian aid access.

Zakat and Charities Fund confirmed that the aid has already been delivered to the competent authorities in Gaza for distribution to the families most affected by the Israeli blockade and aggression. These efforts are part of ongoing support for the Palestinian people and the enhancement of humanitarian response, ensuring the provision of essential needs to the affected population.

• Continuous Humanitarian Efforts
The 8th relief convoy is part of a series of convoys launched by Zakat and Charities Fund, which has delivered more than 7840 tons of aid since October 7, 2023, with the support of the Egyptian political leadership and in coordination with the relevant authorities. The statement pointed out that the convoy carries a message of solidarity and support for the Palestinian people, in line with the directives of HE the Grand Imam, embodying the saying of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), “The believer to another believer is like a building whose different parts enforce each other.”
