In mid-January of this year, Israel and the Hamas resistance in Gaza reached a first-phase ceasefire agreement and reopened the border.
Seemingly seeing a glimmer of hope for humanitarian relief, we quickly worked with the Palestinian Doctors Association in Europe to procure 307 boxes of medical supplies, weighing 4.3 tons.
However, contrary to expectations, just a few weeks later, in early March, Israel tore up the Gaza ceasefire agreement and resumed its relentless slaughter and blockade of Gaza.
Egypt is the only non-Israeli country bordering Gaza and possesses the Rafah crossing, the only land route not directly controlled by Israel. However, the access to Egypt's Rafah crossing is completely subject to Israeli military operations. After March, this land route was completely cut off, leaving Egypt at the forefront of a humanitarian backlog.

The supplies were ready in about a month. Because the Israeli military cut off all humanitarian aid channels to Gaza, we were unable to transport the supplies from Shenzhen, China to Cairo, Egypt, and then to Gaza.
We originally planned to go to Cairo, Egypt with the medical supplies in January 2025 to hold an event to witness the delivery of relief supplies from China to Gaza, but we had been waiting for more than three months without any progress. In March 2025, Israel tore up the ceasefire agreement and once again bloodbathed Gaza. Facing a dire challenge, we decided to organize an emergency working trip to Egypt at the end of March to learn about the latest status of medical and humanitarian support work in Gaza...
