The Red Crescent Society in Emirates announced on Monday that is planning to send an aid convoy to the Gaza Strip in the coming few days.
It stated that the convoy would be heading to Jordan and would continue driving towards Egypt in an attempt to enter the Gaza Strip via the Rafah Border Terminal.
The official Emirate News Agency (WAM) reported Monday that 30 trucks filled with 500 tons of essential materials and foodstuffs would be heading to Gaza. The materials were purchased in Egypt.
The Agency added that some Emirati relief officials headed to Cairo to supervise the convoy and to coordinate with Egyptian officials in order to facilitate the entry of the convoy into the Gaza Strip.
The talks are being held in coordination with the Emirati embassy in Egypt, the Egyptian Red Crescent and the UNRWA.
