The convoy carried approximately 4,685 tons of comprehensive humanitarian aid, including: about 2,620 tons of food baskets and flour; more than 405 tons of medicines, relief supplies, and personal hygiene items; about 1,660 tons of petroleum products to operate hospitals and vital facilities in the Strip; in addition to more than 1,595 blankets and 5,460 pieces of clothing.
 
In a related context, the Egyptian Red Crescent continued its humanitarian services at the Rafah crossing, preparing to receive the 38th group of wounded, sick, and injured Palestinians, both those arriving and departing, along with their companions.
 
The Red Crescent facilitated crossing procedures, distributed hot meals, provided clothing and personal hygiene items, and distributed "return kits" to those returning to the Gaza Strip.
 
The Egyptian Red Crescent has maintained a presence at the border since the beginning of the crisis, as the Rafah crossing has never been completely closed from the Egyptian side. It has remained fully prepared at all logistical centers and has continued its efforts to deliver over 900,000 tons of humanitarian and relief aid, thanks to the efforts of more than 65,000 volunteers.
