Egypt’s Red Crescent urged all states to continue airlifting supplies to Egypt for Palestinians in Gaza.
It is specified that 28 states and 13 regional and international organizations had sent the planes carrying aid for Palestinians
Nearly 100 cargo planes carrying humanitarian aid have landed so far at the airport in El Arish, Egypt, located in the north of the Sinai Peninsula, Khaled Zaid, the head of the Egyptian Red Crescent Society branch in North Sinai province, said.

“As many as 96 planes have landed at the airport with humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza,” he was quoted as saying by the Sada al-Balad news portal.
Zaid specified that 28 states and 13 regional and international organizations had sent the planes carrying aid for Palestinians.
The head of the Egyptian Red Crescent Society branch in North Sinai informed that last evening 81 cars with humanitarian cargo had been sent to the Gaza Strip through the Rafah checkpoint.

As of now, according to Zaid, a total of 650 cars have entered the enclave to help the people of Gaza.
Some time ago, the Director General of the Egyptian Red Crescent Society Rami Al-Naser stated that the humanitarian aid which had been sent to Egypt from different countries and organizations for its further delivery to Gaza was running out.

He urged all states to continue airlifting supplies to Egypt for the people of the Palestinian enclave.
The challenge however is that Israel is refusing to allow enough aid to enter Gaza, neither using the Rafah crossing nor the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing.
Additionally, on Tuesday, a Red Cross convoy was bombed by Israel while carrying aid to Gaza.
Israel has, thus far, killed over 10,569 – including 4,324 children and 2,823 women – and wounded 26,475. Palestinian Ministry of Health reports and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, Emily Callahan, a nurse with Doctors Without Borders, said children in Gaza were being sent to refugee camps with no access to running water.

Despite a massive Israeli military buildup around the Gaza borders and sporadic infiltrations on the outskirts of the besieged Strip, Palestinian Resistance continues to repel Israeli attacks.
To justify its military failure, the Israeli army continues to pound civilian homes throughout the Gaza Strip with new massacres reported everywhere in the besieged enclave.
Gaza has been under a tight Israeli military siege since 2007, following a democratic election in occupied Palestine, the results of which were rejected by Tel Aviv and Washington.
