Egypt has dispatched a new humanitarian aid convoy to Gaza, ramping up efforts to combat famine after a UN-backed report confirmed catastrophic food shortages in the region. The delivery, part of the "Provision of Honor: From Egypt to Gaza" initiative, includes flour, fuel, medicine, and other essentials—lifelines for millions facing what experts call a "man-made disaster." 🆘
🚛 Aid Stuck at the Border
Despite Egypt contributing over 70% of Gaza’s aid since the war began, around 5,000 trucks remain stranded near Rafah due to border closures. Sunday’s convoy passed through Kerem Shalom for Israeli inspection, but delays continue to hinder critical relief. 💔
📈 Famine by the Numbers
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) warns that famine has already taken 289 lives in Gaza, including 115 children. Over 62,000 Palestinians have been killed in 22 months of conflict, according to Gaza health authorities, with malnutrition accelerating the crisis.
🌍 Global Calls for Action
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry is urging international intervention to pressure Israel to open crossings, while Egypt’s Red Crescent works tirelessly to deliver supplies. As the world watches, young activists online are amplifying #SaveGaza campaigns, demanding swift action. ✊
