Outdated Photos of Egypt Aid Trucks in Gaza Resurface Amid Ongoing War

Misbar investigated the viral photos and found the claims to be misleading.

After conducting a thorough reverse image search, Misbar’s team found the photos to be old, dating back to 2021.

Outdated Photos of Egyptian Aid Trucks' Arrival in Gaza 

Contrary to the circulating claim, the photos are old and have no connection to the war on Gaza.

An Egyptian website published the photos on May 22, 2021, showing Egyptian aid-laden trucks on their way to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

An X user published the photos on May 21, 2021, under the caption, “Within the next few hours, #Egypt will send the largest humanitarian aid convoy to #Gaza Strip, which includes 120 containers of supplies prepared by the #Egyptian Tahya Misr Fund.”

According to reports, Egypt dispatched its "largest" relief convoy to Gaza. The convoy consisted of 130 aid-laden trucks carrying 2,500 tons of essential supplies, including food, medicines, baby formula, clothing, and appliances. This assistance is provided by the "Long Live Egypt Fund" and is part of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi's directives to offer support to the people of Gaza.

Israel Threatens Egypt's Aid Delivery to Gaza

According to the Israeli Channel 13, Israel issued a threat to Egypt, warning that it would target any aid convoy heading to the Gaza Strip. This threat comes in the midst of continued Israeli airstrikes in Palestinian territory.

Previously, Israeli army spokesman Richard Hecht had advised that Palestinians in Gaza should seek shelter in Egypt due to the heavy bombardment, although this recommendation was later revised.

The Sinai for Human Rights uploaded a video showing the withdrawal of Egyptian fuel and humanitarian aid trucks from the vicinity of the Rafah land crossing. It was mentioned that Egyptian authorities have temporarily suspended operations at the Rafah crossing due to being targeted by Israeli airstrikes three consecutive times within the past 24 hours.

Israel's Air Strikes Killed Over 1417 Palestinians 

Relentless Israeli air strikes resulted in the loss of at least 151 Palestinian lives on Thursday.

An Israeli minister has declared a severe restriction, blocking the entry of electricity, fuel, and humanitarian aid into Gaza until Hamas releases all captives.

Officials in Gaza have warned that the collapse of the healthcare system has commenced due to Israel's intense bombardment and a complete blockade. The death toll in Gaza has now reached 1,417 people, while in Israel, the number of casualties has risen to 1,300.

UNRWA is in urgent need of $104 million to support its humanitarian efforts during the next 90 days. This funding request is intended to address critical needs, including food, non-food items, healthcare, shelter, and protection, for up to 250,000 individuals taking refuge in UNRWA shelters across Gaza and another 250,000 Palestinian refugees within the community. Special attention will be given to the requirements of vulnerable groups, such as women, children, individuals with disabilities, and the elderly.
